I tried to download and run qvt on my AT&T 6300.  The next thing I
knew, the PC wouldn't boot from the c: drive.  All the files in my
home directory were erased!  All the subdirectories and files were
OK but most of the system files in c:/ were gone.  Even Norton
Utilities couldn't recover the data.

Anyone is welcome to tell me wht I did wrong, in which case I
apologize for this posting, but I believe I was following directions
properly.  I'm certainly not going to try it again.
