This is a very tiny program (8 KB). Here is an excerpt of the original
ReadMe file (also included):

> Welcome is a simple application which allows you to edit
>  the ?Welcome to Macintosh.? message that is displayed when
>  the Mac boots.
>
> Welcome comes with no warranty, use it at your own risk.
>
> Welcome offers you a standard dialog box with the current boot
>  message and allows you to edit it. Some important points:
>  1\. You can't place special characters (e.g. tabs or returns)
>  in the text.
>  2\. The text won't be word wrapped at boot time.
>  3\. You can force the message to begin a new line by
>  placing a slash ?/? in the message. The slash won't be
>  displayed.
>
> Welcome edits the boot message from the currently open System
>  file. Some virus detection programs might complain about Welcome's
>  actions, if so you'll have to turn them off. GateKeeper and
> Disinfectant
>  Init have no problem with Welcome (i.e. there is no need to turn
> either
>  of these off before running Welcome). To edit the message on
> another
>  disk you will have to first restart with that disk.
>
> If your boot message get corrupted, you can replace it completely
>  by using ResEdit to copy the DSAT 0 resource from an original
> system
>  disk.
