FILES SOURCE OF ALDE CAROUSEL

THE FILES ON ALDE'S CAROUSEL CAME FROM BULLETIN BOARDS AND WITH THEM THE DANGERS 
INHERENT IN USING SOFTWARE FROM AN UNSECURED SOURCE.
THE "MAC" FILES ARE THE SAFEST OF THE ENTIRE COLLECTION.  ALL THESE PROGRAMS
WERE RUN AND CHECKED FOR VIRUS BEFORE THEY WERE PUT UP ON THE BOARD THEY
WERE SOURCED FROM.
THE "IBM" FILES ARE FROM A EXCELLENT BBS THAT HAS NO DOWNLOAD REQUIREMENTS AND
ACCEPTS DOWNLOADS ONLY FROM PAYING MEMBERS.  THE SYSOP HAS A GOOD RAPPORT WITH
HIS BOARD MEMBERS AND SPENDS CONSIDERABLE TIME "FEEDING AND CARING" FOR THE
SYSTEM.  AS A RESULT, A CONTINUING, CONCERTED EFFORT IS MADE TO REPORT
DESTRUCTIVE PROGRAMS AND GET THEM OFF THE SYSTEM.  (THIS APPLIES TO PLAIN,
POORLY DESIGNED PROGRAMS AS WELL AS THOSE WITH MALICIOUS INTENT.)  MANY 
SOURCES FOR FILES WERE EXAMINED BUT WE CHOSE THIS ONE, AND LIMITED OUR SOURCE
TO THIS ONE BOARD BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES A GENUINE CONCERN FOR SECURITY.
IN THE HILITE DIRECTORY YOU WILL FIND FILES WITH A DATE OF 01-01-90 AND A
TIME OF 12:00:00.  THESE WERE RECEIVED DIRECTLY FROM THE AUTHORS, VIA THE U.S.
MAIL, ON FLOPPY DISK.
THE PEDIGREE OF THE COMMODORE FILES IS UNKNOWN.
SO HANDLE ALL THE FILES THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD WITH ANY UNSECURED FILE SOURCE.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF ANY PROGRAM PRODUCES A PROBLEM.  AFTER VERIFYING IT,
WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO NOTIFY ALL BUYERS AND DEALERS OF THE VARMINT. THIS DOES
NOT MEAN WE GUARANTEE EVERYONE WILL BE CONTACTED OR THAT WE, IN ANY WAY ACCEPT
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY A VIRUS, WORM  ETC. BEFORE OR AFTER WE 
HAVE BEEN CONTACTED.
