We now display this text:

**********************
Welcome to the USS Enterprise Medical Department GNUmed database.

This database is the default installation intended for
demonstration of the GNUmed client. It may be running on a
publically accessible server on the internet. Therefore any
data you enter here is likely to be lost when the database
is upgraded. It is also put at risk of unlawful disclosure.

DO NOT USE THIS DATABASE TO STORE REAL LIVE PATIENT DATA.
