It would be trivial to add an option to mine to specify the file
to output instead of /etc/issue. In fact, I'll add it right now;
it was something I was thinking of doing anyway....It's done.

I have a new release of it which I will be submitting to
comp.sources.unix at the beginning of the year. If anyone
desperately needs it before then, I'll send it. But remember: if
I'm answering mail, I'm not writing code.
