in case you hadn't heard:

	These files have been placed on Compuserve and Genie on 6/18/86.  A
	version placed earlier on these networks on 6/13/86 have errors
	and should not be used.

while I agree that the more hands the software passes through, the greater
the likelihood of a bad modification.  However, let's not go overboard in
trusting "Big Brother" not to make errors.

Oh, and in case *YOU* have a method for making sure that *YOUR* copy is
definitely error-free, I think Apple would like to offer you lots of $$$
to certify that for their next release.
