The maintainers of the SIMTEL-20 archive asked us to include this disclaimer: Due to the large number of files available, the SIMTEL-20 archive maintainers cannot possibly attempt to validate the proper operation of the various programs. When a program bug is reported, immediate action is taken to either correct the error or remove the offending program from the archives. Still, users must understand that all archive programs are offered AS IS, and the archive maintainers specifically disclaim any liability should these programs malfunction or cause damage, incidental or otherwise. When testing ANY new software, be certain that all information stored on disk is backed-up before you start, so that you can recover if files are damaged or erased. This is particularly true if you have a hard disk, in which case malfunctions can be spectacularly disastrous. ============================================================================= Documentation for unzip.exe is in \msdos\zip\unz50p1.exe. ============================================================================= Walnut Creek CDROM is an approved vendor and associate member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
