- I release INFOPLUS in .ZIP format. When I do so, I include an
- 'Authenticty Verification' (AV) check. If you have PKZIP 1.10 or newer, ALL
- files should have a -AV after each of them while extracting, and when
- finished you should see:
-
- Authentic files Verified! # XNW068 Andrew Rossmann
-
- If you get a different name and number, or no mesesage at all, you should
- consider the files inside to be corrupt and possibly dangerous or infected
- with a virus.
-
- Any file that does not have a -AV shown while extracting is most likely a
- BBS ad.
-
- If an altered AV shows an ad for a BBS, please let the SYSOP know that
- tampering with the AV, while not necessarily against the PKZIP license,
- destroys the reason for the AV. If you see mine, you can be sure that all
- of the files that show -AV while extracting are safe and unaltered.
-
- If a BBS has added an advertisement to the .ZIP file, please let them
- know that tampering with the insides of a .ZIP is just as bad as changing
- it's AV!! Let them play around all they want with the master .ZIP comment,
- but DON'T touch the insides!!
-
- I prefer that INFOPLUS be distrubuted in it's original .ZIP format. For
- use on USENET's comp.binaries.ibm.pc, .ZOO format is acceptable, although I
- would hope that it could be distributed in .ZIP format. If you get your
- copy via c.b.i.p, and wish to give copies to other people, please add a
- note stating that it comes from comp.binaries.ibm.pc, and that a guaranteed
- safe copy can be found on the boards listed in the documentation, in
- addition to SIMTEL20 and other FTP sites.
