DEC Rainbow Archive Package #14 Addendum
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR WDIR V1.2PD
January 31, 1986
1.0 - IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
It has recently come to our attention that somebody has
created a program called VDIR which appears to be a dir-
ectory-scrunging, tape-worm program that does a lot of damage to a
disk's directories, especially to hard disks. There appears to be
no way, short of turning the machine off, to stop it once it gets
going or anyway to correct the damage.
This is a disclaimer against VDIR. Our product will work
within the description above and IS NOT RELATED TO NOR DOES IT
PERFORM ANY OF THE DESTRUCTIVE FEATURES OF THIS OTHER PROGRAM. We
are quite upset and discouraged at people who create such pro-
grams and we have the dung-covered wooden spikes, a truckload of
red army ants, and forty gallons of honey ready for use when we
find these kind of people!
Public Domain software should be used to help users
(especially Rainbow users), not hurt them. It's an old cliche,
but appropriate: Caveat Emptor!
