It has come to my attention that one of my utilities (for FidoNet and
other compatible PC networks) is being labelled a trojan by an Ottawa
system operator.

Due to other activities by this person, which I will refrain from
discussing here, I strongly suspect that this claim is being made
maliciously and without cause.  The software was beta tested on
systems which contained the same files which the said person claims
are corrupted.  In fact, the software does not access these files.  In
addition, the software was released in late January, this is the only
such claim which has been made, and the timing corresponds with the
release of a larger network utility with commercial possibilities.

I am unable to reproduce the claimed results.

Notwithstanding the above, users of MBOU101.ZIP are cautioned that it
is possible that someone has tampered with the program.  Should you
have any doubts whatsoever, a clean copy can be file requested from
Fidonet 1:163/111, or from any Fidonet SDS site.

If you have any concerns whatsoever, please feel free to contact me.
