Subject: Unauthorized ZCPR33 Files
The ZCPR33 files on SIMTEL20 at this time (June 4, 1987) are NOT the
official release versions. They are beta-test versions that should NEVER
have been distributed publicly. Someone, without authorization, uploaded
the files to Keith Petersen's Royal Oaks system, and Keith, understandably,
assumed that they were the release versions that had been announced. I have
asked Keith to remove these files as soon as possible.
If anyone uses these files, they do so at some risk. There were some
last-minute address changes. It is, therefore, quite possible that a number
of the release-version utilities and auxiliary packages will not work
properly with this version of ZCPR33 (I have not determined for sure whether
or not the last changes got into this version). Some of the failures will
be quite subtle. I recommend that if you downloaded any of these files you
destroy them. If you distributed them further, please try to track them
down and have them removed as well. It will be very unfortunate if bad
copies end up in wide distribution. The official release versions are
currently available from many Z-Node remote access systems, including mine
at 617-965-7259 (password=DDT, on entering operating system enter user ID of
"NONE" for 60-minute access).
As soon as I can, I will arrange for the proper distribution files to
be put up on SIMTEL20. The files have to be converted from squeezed form to
crunched form, and CRC values have to be tabulated. Since there is more
than 500K of code, this may take a little while. I will try to get the
material onto SIMTEL20 by June 6.
