In Solaris 8, you still have in /bin/clear:

#       This Module contains Proprietary Information of Microsoft
#       Corporation and should be treated as Confidential.

If you were wondering what this confidential information is, well, it is
the two-line shell script:

        /usr/bin/tput ${1:+-T$1} clear 2> /dev/null
        exit

(of which the second line is obviously redundant).

I hope Microsoft will not sue me for revealing their secret program here...
