Suppressing the Advanced Revelation Logon Message

In Advanced Revelation version 1.13 it is possible for a developer to suppress the system logon banner. This gives the developer an option of displaying a custom logon banner.

To suppress the Advanced Revelation logon message, add (S) at the end of the AREV DOS command used to invoke Advanced Revelation. For example, enter this at DOS:

AREV SYSPROG (S)

When the (S) option is used the system will not clear the screen. Advanced Revelation will still display its copyright and processing messages on lines 22, 23 and 24.

Note: In all previous versions of Advanced Revelation the (S) option did clear the screen before displaying the copyright message. To create a custom logon banner, precede the AREV command at DOS with a command to display a text file. An example batch file to do this might look like this:

ECHO OFF
CLS
TYPE MYLOGO.DAT
AREV SYSPROG (S)
ECHO ON
