Maybe we should clarify to each other the particular version of CPAV
we are speaking about. The latest version we have here is 1.3. In the
same time, I have seen a clone of the program that is rumored to be
supplied with MS-DOS 6.0 and it doesn't have the unencrypted strings
problem. Did CPS produce any version of their product between those?
