Virus Check

Computer viruses are a menace to the computer software industry. This
program is designed to help combat that menace. All 'PC Learning Games'
programs are developed on PCs with sophisticated virus detection software,
so you can be sure that the original disks were virus free. However, as
these programs are distributed as "shareware", it is possible that the
programs can become infected as they are copied between different users.
VCHECK.EXE will check, that as far as is possible, the programs are the
same as the originals.
PLEASE NOTE: VCHECK.EXE is NOT a complete virus detection system. It does
not recognize specific viruses, but detects the effect of any virus on 'PC
Learning Games' .EXE files. It can not detect viruses infecting other
programs or disks. There are many commercially available products that
will scan for and detect viruses. I would recommend VIRUSCAN from

VCHECK.EXE calculates a checksum for all PC Learning Games programs that it
finds in the current directory. If the calculated checksum doesn't match
the stored checksum then a warning is given. The reasons that a checksum
might not match are:
1. A virus has attached itself to the file.
2. A program file is corrupt.
3. The version of VCHECK.EXE is for a different version of the programs.
If your disk does not contain VCHECK.EXE, or if VCHECK.EXE reports any of
the above, DO NOT RUN THE PROGRAMS. Write for a clean copy of the disk to:
