On 23/02/95 the following was uttered by Walter thus

WZ>RT>The package installed fine on my system and was fine when I sent it.

WZ>Maybe a couple of bits fell off the floppy, or someone taken a byte
out WZ>of it in transit.

WZ>RT>Check the following first:

WZ>No problem here, nor did I ever doubt it.

WZ>Like I said, installation failed due to UNZIP.EXE (Major
WZ>part of installation process) being unable to unzip tdw.zip which is
WZ>corrupt. (stuffed in other words)

    
    Just as a matter of interest, I know of a firm that sends a lot of 
    software through the post on floppy, they have had problems with an 
    average of 1% of the floppies arriving corrupted. These are good
    quality disks and the corruption does not affect the whole disk. How
    it happens can be seen to be quite simple, Aust. Post. does not have 
    the resources to guarantee that all items that your package might be 
    near are not magnetic, so some packages get corrupted slightly from
    stray magnetic sources (shrug?) and you have to take that risk when
    things are sent through the post.
    
    
    Back on topic , Anyone interested in an American old style desktop
    case for a Pc ? It can handle aus power but the output leads are a 
    different type to standard over here. Offers considered.
