You can test your copy of the distribution diskette, to make sure the copy is accurate, by entering the command CHECK *.* and the output should look like this: CRCK ver 4.2B (MS DOS VERSION ) CTL-S pauses, CTL-C aborts --> FILE: LW .COM CRC = 3A 79 --> FILE: ME .ME CRC = 50 C4 --> FILE: END . CRC = 00 00 --> FILE: MANUAL . CRC = FB 11 --> FILE: READ .ME CRC = 8F FB --> FILE: SUPPORT . CRC = 56 9E --> FILE: SAMPLE .ADR CRC = 9B AA --> FILE: SAMPLE . CRC = FC 5A --> FILE: CHECK .COM CRC = BD 22 --> FILE: CHECK .TXT CRC = unknown ---------------------> SUM OF CRCS = unknown DONE The reason why the check.txt file is unknown is because the above information is added to it. Therefore, the sum will also be unknown.
