I has improved much since then. And I even don't have the latest

I have not seen a recent version of Victor Charlie, so I cannot
comment on that. (I saw on a few years ago and it was very poor, but I

Master is undoubtedly the best shareware integrity checker around, but
it is still MUCH worse that the integrity checker in Untouchable...
