+ Be careful with Flushot2!!!! I was using MKS Toolkit, doing a cp command

+ done I locked up. I couldn't reboot to C drive because command.com was
+ GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ Just thought I'd let you know.

When it comes to pd/shareware, especially binaries from this newsgroup, or
from bulletin boards where the sysop can't be bothered to test them, you
loads your files, and takes your chances.

If you didn't compile it yourself, or you don't know the author personally,
have faith in the quality of his/her work and can be sure s/he wrote the
version you have, your good faith will eventually be your undoing. Remember
GT-"POWER"COM, the bogus, trojanned version of ARC and Dutchie, and the
supposed virus that is infecting the COMMAND.COM's of the world...

Let 'em eat source!
