- and random other folk that helped us get the machine up, but weren't
- around when I typed in this comment.

- This hack writes silly strings to the display panel on the front of
- the Apple Network Server (AIX) box.
-
- panelhack -h dumps the panel hack usage string to the display panel
- panelhack <string> dumps <string> to the display panel
- panelhack dumps a random string to the display panel
-
- You need root privilige to do this.
-
- This is a hack. It is only a hack. It does nasty things to NVRAM, so be careful
- if you twiddle things so that you don't fry your system by writing into some other
- part of NVRAM.
