You can test your copy of the distribution diskette, to make sure the copy is accurate, by entering the command CHECK *.* at the DOS prompt. The output should look like this: CRCK ver 4.2B (MS DOS VERSION ) CTL-S pauses, CTL-C aborts --> FILE: LW .COM CRC = 1E 42 --> FILE: CONFIG .COM CRC = D9 18 --> FILE: MANUAL . CRC = BA C3 --> FILE: READ .ME CRC = D7 99 --> FILE: SUPPORT . CRC = 8D 15 --> FILE: SAMPLE .ADR CRC = 1E FC --> FILE: SAMPLE . CRC = B9 AF --> FILE: CHECK .COM CRC = BD 22 --> FILE: CHECK .TXT CRC = unknown ---------------------> SUM OF CRCS = unknown DONE Note: the CRC for CHECK.TXT will be incorrect as will be the total, because you cannot write a file's CRC to the file without altering the CRC of the file.
