You may be absolutely on the level,  Steve.  If so, please don't take offence
at the following warning.

****TROJAN HORSE WARNING****

All system administators and users (particularly novices) should be aware
that the above request *might* be a classic "Trojan Horse".  That is:  a
trick to get invasive software into your system.  If you intend to cooperate
with Steve,  check the sources that he sends you,  check them minutely and
have someone more experienced than you check them.
