     The CRC-32 code, Length (NOT Size) are important.  If PIERO.TXT is
something other than "74948b52" under CRC-32, then it has been altered.  If you
locate an altered copy of Piero-D.Zip, notify the author imediately.  My E-Mail
addresses maybe found in Part IV, Chapter 3 entitle "The Conclusion" and please
include the Name and Number of the BBS and the name of the SysOp.
