This issue raised itself at our meeting yesterday.  Since we are about
to start on a big campaign to get our PD/share collection out to educators,
we are concerned that the collection be as virus-free as we can make
it.  For anyone who is considering ordering stuff from us, we will assure
you that it has been tested to the best of our ability.

However, hopefully no one distributing PD/shareware software will be
foolish enough to "warranty" that the software is free from viruses.  The
lawsuits could be horrendous ...
