            FWKCTEST(TM) Contents_Signature System Test Procedures
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     This material is provided for testing purposes only.

     This zipfile, FWKCT113.ZIP, contains only four files:

        FWK_READ._ME  <--< you are here.

        FWKCS.COM     this is the central program of the
                      FWKCS(TM) Contents_Signature System.

        FWKCTEST.BAT  an extensive test program, used in
                      quality control for FWKCS.

        FWKCLEAR.BAT  to clean up after running FWKCTEST.

     To run this test, unzip FWKCT113.ZIP into a new subdirectory which
     has a d:\path less than 20 characters long, make that your current
     directory, and type  FWKCTEST <enter> . Allow 2 Megabytes of free
     disk space to run this test.

     For legal information, see FWKCS /L . For special information 
     about distributing FWKCT113.ZIP, see "Distribution", below.

     For terse summaries re functions, see FWKCS /h, /a, /d, /e, /1h .

     FWKCS provides automatic, non_destructive testing of zipfiles and
     of files.  Non_destructive testing of zipfiles is becoming
     increasingly important, because it protects the contents,
     structure, and Authenticity Verification of a zipfile. That
     AV_stamp is a key protection which authors, BBS operators, and end
     users have against the perversion of creative work into trojan
     programs:  virus testing programs usually do not catch trojans.

     The two .BAT programs in this package, FWKCTEST and FWKCLEAR, are
     used in quality control procedures before FWKCS is released.  Run
     FWKCTEST, and see some tests which FWKCS is required to pass.

     FWKCS can handle zipfiles which contain a full IBM/MS DOS tree of
     subdirectories, using only a single subdirectory as its work area.

     The reason why this test needs to be run in a subdirectory which
     does not have a long d:\path, is to leave room for preparing the
     test files which are used, not for running FWKCS itself.

     FWKCS can also handle self_extracting zipfiles, full_size and
     junior.

     See for yourself: non_destructive zipfile testing is here, and it
     works.

     FWKCS can do that testing for you automatically, and also handles
     plain files.

     And after you finish running FWKCTEST, you can clean up just by
     running FWKCLEAR.

     The Next Step:
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     When you are ready to take the step to non_destructive zipfile 
     testing, you can download a copy of FWKCS113.ZIP from The 
     Invention Factory, 212 431 1194, 2400 N 8 1, as a no_fee download 
     on your first call. (The I.F. has 44 nodes, which handle variously 
     up to 19,200 bits/sec.)

     After you download FWKCS113.ZIP, first do

        PKUNZIP FWKCS113 GO.BAT <enter>

     then do   GO <enter> , and follow the instructions on the screen.

     FWKCS is available as shareware: it is not free.  You may test it
     for up to 30 days before you decide whether to register.
     Instructions on registration are provided in FWKCS113.ZIP, in the
     file REGISTER.DOC.

     FWKCS is used with programs listed below;  if you are missing any
     of them, they are all available from The I.F. as no_fee downloads
     on your first call (ZIP2EXE is used only in FWKCTEST):

        Ben Baker's QSORT, Version 3.20.
        Phil Katz's PKZIP(R), PKUNZIP(R), and ZIP2EXE;  Version 1.10,
           (distributed by PKWARE in PKZ110.EXE, self_extracting).
        McAfee's SCAN.
        Vernon Buerg's LIST.


     Distribution:
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Except as noted below, the only permission to pass this zipfile to
     others is that which is set forth in the author's AVEXTRA.TXT,
     which is automatically displayed following his AV_stamp. If the
     author's AV_stamp is gone from this package, then the permission
     to disseminate this material is gone.

     There is one exception: if SALT AIR BBS, home bbs for PCBoard, has
     received a copy from a reputable uploader and has inadvertently
     removed the author's AV_stamp, SALT AIR has permission to pass
     this zipfile on to all of SALT AIR's users for testing.

     If you need a new copy of FWKCT113.ZIP, with its AV_stamp intact
     so that you can pass it on to others, you can get that zipfile
     from The I.F., too.

     Note:
     ~~~~~
     In FWKCSTEST.BAT, two abbreviations are used to refer to companies:

        IBM = International Business Machines Corporation.

         MS = Microsoft Corporation.
