This is exactly why you won't see this version of Elvis archived at
SIMTEL20.  We do not accept programs which have no documentation and
information on who the author is so we can contact the author in case
of problems or questions.

Many programs being distributed without documentation turn out to be
copyrighted and/or not freely distributable.  Check the COM and EXE
files with a binary dump or editor program.  90% of the files I've
seen on BBSs which have no documentation are pirated or of suspicious
origin (read that as possible trojans).
