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: READ .ME CRC = 62 31 --> FILE: WHERE .COM CRC = 61 77 --> FILE: LS .EXE CRC = 62 A9 --> FILE: DR .COM CRC = DF 69 --> FILE: CHARS .BAS CRC = C6 3D --> FILE: MEMORY .BAS CRC = 80 52 --> FILE: ROMBIOS .BAS CRC = 32 93 --> FILE: ROMBASIC.BAS CRC = 14 F0 --> FILE: MENU .BAS CRC = 99 A2 --> FILE: SCREEN .BAS CRC = 56 C4 --> FILE: KEYSTAT .BAS CRC = 8F A6 --> FILE: PERCENT .BAS CRC = A6 04 --> FILE: SUPPORT . CRC = 67 15 --> FILE: CHECK .COM CRC = BD 22 --> FILE: CHECK .TXT CRC = 00 00 ---------------------> SUM OF CRCS = DE 13 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.
