VIRUS WARNING
---------------
To the best of our knowledge this magazine was circulated 100% virus free.
However, if you have copied this off a friend, or received it from a PD
library make sure you keep the disks write protected - there is no need for
any of the software to write to the disks. Write protect the disk BEFORE you
first boot it to be safe.
The disks should be free of boot-block viruses. A simple check to make sure
the disk is free of them is by booting it. You should see a small THE FINAL
FRONTIER logo when you boot either disk. If you don't, but the disk still
boots, check it with a good virus killer such as NO VIRUS, VIRUS X or MASTER
VIRUS KILLER.
Also there is NOT supposed to be a "L" directory, or a DISK VALIDATOR file on
the disk. This is to prevent infection from one of the new type of Disk
Validator viruses. However, to prevent read/write errors, we DID use a Disk
Validator when we created the disk, but it was removed when we finished
compiling each disk.
If there is either of these, remove them IMMEDIATELY as they will more than
likely be one of the new strain of Disk-Validator viruses going around.
I'm giving this warning, because this magazine was almost delayed by a few
months as all my disks with files I was working on, plus all the disks with
the finished files, were infected with the LAMER EXTERMINATOR virus. Not
funny!
If you bought this mag from a PD libary and found that a virus was on it, let
us know so we can try and stop other readers getting unwanted virus problems.
However, most good PD Libraries make sure that their collections are free of
all known viruses.
We will get the library, to check their copy of the mag, and if they refuse
to co-operate or offer an apology in their latest catalogue then we will
prevent them from distributing the disk in the future.
