A set of debug scripts designed to hack DSZ has been making the rounds
of bulletin boards.  The single purpose of these scripts is to disable
the registration request printed by UNREGISTERED copies of DSZ.  In
other words, the only purpose of these debug scripts is to encourage
nusers to avoid registering DSZ.  The final insult is the message:
-
  If you find this usefull, you may if you wish send $1.00 to MOBIUS
  c/o MOBIUS .aka. Servant of TSOTL, Pyroto Mountain P.O.Box 35103
  Phoenix AZ 85069, or just Support your best Shareware. The $1.00
  will also provide you with 60 minutes online time on my BBS as a
  contribution.
-
In other words, this gentleman suggests you Support Shareware by
sending HIM $1.00 to support his piracy instead of registering DSZ
with its author.
-
Since nobody is bothering to rip off FAST, DART, Blast, or Relay
protocol drivers, at least one can say ZMODEM has "arrived".
-
If you see any of these files on a BBS, please inform the sysop of
the pirate nature, and ask that they be removed.  I would also
appreciate any information of exactly who wrote these files, and
who are conspiring to spread them.
