   Let's not get upset.  I am positive that there was nothing
personal in the original question.  The point is that can be trust
even ourselves or rather our procedures.  We certainly do your best,
but we cannot give absolute 100% guarantees, only our very best

case of highly sensitive files like scanv71.zip I prefer to get them
from Simtel20.
