SFBUSHOW.ZIP SHOWINFO.DOC

Two-Level .ZIP protection
-------------------------
The SFBUSHOW.ZIP file is a 2-level compressed .ZIP file which contains
this SHOWINFO.DOC file and the SFBUSHOW.FRG file, which itself
contains the SFBU show files, programs, and documentation.
SFBUSHOW.FRG is encrypted with the password "SILIFROG" and carries the
author's .ZIP authentication stamp. This protects the "authentic"
distribution file contents from being altered by anyone but the author.
Many Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) and shareware disk distributors
automatically un-ZIP and re-ZIP all files and submit their contents to
various virus-detection processes. Many also add their own commercial
messages as new files or .ZIP comments (as well as remove competing
BBS' ads). Some go as far as adding their own authentication stamps
to the re-ZIPped files. Although there is no ill intent in such a
process, it physically destroys any pre-existing authentication stamp,
and it could conceivably alter files or their contents and introduce
the very problems the process attempts to eliminate.
If you are a Sysop or disk distributor and you do not agree with my
software packaging method, then I ask that you do not distribute my
files at all, rather than alter their contents for whatever reason.
Thank you for your cooperation.
UnZIPping the distribution file
-------------------------------
To unZIP the SFBUSHOW.FRG file, use the -sSILIFROG parameter in the
PKUNZIP command line:
C:>PKUNZIP -sSILIFROG SFBUSHOW.FRG
As SFBUSHOW.FRG is de-compressed, PUNZIP will display the authenticity
verification switch (-AV) for each individual file. When all files
have been unZIPped, PKUNZIP will display:
Authentic Files Verified! # VDK942 The Silicon Frog
This guarantees that you have an exact copy of the original
distribution file. If the -AV switches or final authentication
message are not displayed, the SFBUSHOW.FRG file has been tampered
with.
If you wish to receive a complete set of original distribution files,
send $5 to:
Dan Moore
1514 South Drive
Columbus, IN 47203
Indicate whether you want to receive 5.25" or 3.5" diskettes.
Further instructions are contained in the SHOWINFO.TXT file, which
itself is contained in the SFBUSHOW.FRG file. Make sure you read it,
and enjoy the shows.
