If your really think so: here is an INIT named Miner that replaces the
*very* obscure text "Sorry, a system error has occurred" by a *much
more* understandable explanation like "Bus error." :-)

Enclosed is a little application named Bomber that can be used to
generate an arbitrary bomb.  It will show how Miner affects the
messages in the bomb box.

Hope this helps,
