- The maintainers of the SIMTEL20 archive asked me to include this
- disclaimer:
-
- Due to the large number of files available, the SIMTEL20 archive
- maintainers cannot possibly attempt to validate the proper
- operation of the various programs. When a program bug is
- reported, immediate action is taken to either correct the error or
- remove the offending program from the archives. Still, users must
- understand that all archive programs are offered AS IS, and the
- archive maintainers specifically disclaim any liability should
- these programs malfunction or cause damage, incidental or
- otherwise. When testing ANY new software, be certain that all
- information stored on disk is backed-up before you start, so that
- you can recover if files are damaged or erased. This is
- particularly true if you have a hard disk, in which case
- malfunctions can be spectacularly disastrous.
