I had a look at that file, trying to trace its origin. As for the file header, it seems that Samuel Leo wrote it. GRUB maintainers, do we need to contact Samuel about this, or can we take the copyright as ok now ? His patch (for GRUB Legacy) was sent to bug-grub in 2003: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-04/msg00032.html It was also discussed on 2005: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2005-05/msg00046.html There are also a few bugs in Savannah: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?4149 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?9180 Some contain improvements/fixes that I guess they have made into grub4dos already, hence present in the patch Bean sent. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is honeypot@aybabtu.com.
