- Not necessarily, but it usually takes a lot of reading to find out,
- and it's better to err on the side of caution. Often shareware has an
- e-mail address that you can ask questions or permission of.

- Probably just large enough.
-

-
- I would recommend *against* ".gz", since the DOS world is apt to be
- stymied by such an extension. ".zip" is probably best.
