WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a file being circulated on BBS's called HSLK113.ZIP or
HSLK113.ARJ or similar, and that claims to RELEASE version 1.13 of the
HS/Link file transfer protocol. No such version has been (or will be)
released by Samuel H. Smith. This file is in fact an elaborate hoax,
containing modified documentation, hacked and patched program files and
a phoney authenticity code. The patches may be designed to damage your
system. DO NOT RUN THE PROGRAMS IN HSLK113!
The ZIP file contains nine files, including the original DOC files that
where shipped with HS/Link version 1.00.
Here is the result of PKUNZIP -V:

When you UNZIP or TEST this file, you see the following bogus AV report:
Authentic files Verified! # LZM612 Samuel H. Smith - (818) 891-6780
The code "# LZM612" is the giveaway here- my original true AV code always
reports code "# XOC363".
The included FILE_ID.DIZ causes the upload description to appear like
this:
HSLK113.ZIP 78183 07-15-92 HS/Link External Protocol Driver RELEASE v1.13
| Compiled: 4:42 pm, Thursday, July 16, 1992
| HS/Link is a new high speed, single and bi-
| directional file transfer protocol with many
| advanced features. It is EASY to set up and
| runs very fast with all kinds of modems.
| Version 1.12 corrects the false ERRORLEVEL 2
| exit code bug in version 1.10.
| Version 1.13 corrects windowing problems, and
| errors with faster machine during high speed
| transmissions.

I did not attempt to run HSLK113.EXE. It passes all virus scans
available to me as of 7/20/92.
If you see the files HSLK113.ZIP or HSLK113.ARJ on any BBS or on-line
system, please ask the SysOp of that system to remove the files
IMMEDIATELY.
