- Look Dear Friends. I do not think that anyone is truly worried
- about the original PKZ204C.EXE being a hack. Its credentials seem
- to have been established beyond any doubt. The worry rather is/was
- that someone _could_ plant a hack into an open exchange directory,
- because techincally that is very easy to do. (I would be able to
- plant a virus version in five minutes into an unmoderated exchange
- directory, if I wanted to. But DON'T worry. I am the last person
- who would do something like that. The point is that it could be
- done).

- All the best, Timo
