Is this a public domain program? I've been downloading quite a bit of software recently, and it scares me to think that something corrupting may have come along with one of the files. It's doubly scary to hear that a disk included with ST User may have included a virus. Any suggestions of precautions/checks I should routinely be taking to avoid problems? I've been having trouble with intermitent corrupted 3 1/2" directories, and this has me worrying. Gosh, just what I need: a new way to be paranoid. Thanks, Phil Z
