+                     Customizing the MP/M Sign-on Message
+                     ------------------------------------
+     
+     
+           The MP/M 1.0 sign-on message can be customized to include an
+       ASCII string of your choice which is up to 35 characters.  The
+       string must be terminated with an ASCII '$' character.
+   
+           The following steps can be used to customize the MP/M sign-on
+       message:
+   
+           1.)  Obtain access to CP/M version 1.4 or 2.0.
+   
+           2.)  Read the XDOS.SPR file into memory using either DDT
+       or SID.
+   
+               A>SID XDOS.SPR
+               SID VERS 2.0
+               NEXT  PC
+               2600 0100
+   
+           3.)  Store your customized sign-on message beginning at
+       location 022AH.  Note that the message should probably begin
+       with some <cr> and <lf>'s and that it must be terminate with
+       a '$' character.
+   
+               -S22A
+               022A -- 0D
+               022B -- 0A
+               022C -- "New sign-on message$
+               0240 -- .
+   
+           4.)  Return to the CP/M console command processor (CCP) by
+       executing a jump to location zero and then save the updated
+       memory image onto a disk file using the CP/M 'SAVE' command.
+   
+               -G0
+   
+               A>SAVE 37 XDOS.SPR    ; 37 = 25H
+   
+           5.)  Run the GENSYS program which will integrate the new
+       XDOS.SPR into the MPM.SYS file.
