I am posting this for Jeff.  Please address any mail to him at the
address below. --cb

1. There is absolutely no code to erase files in the copy protection.

2. We have released version 1.01 of Access. This version is NOT copy
   protected and we are mailing it free to ALL registered owners.

3. In phone discussion with the author of the article in the Washington
   Times, he only claims to have lost a few files. The article was kind
   of sensationally written ("ate the hard disk", etc.) and people have
   on the USENET been raising this to an extremely wild level. We
   sincerely regret problems that may have arisen, but we have taken
   strong action to remove the message.
