You can test your copy of the distribution diskette, to make sure the copy is accurate, by entering the command CHECK *.* at the DOS prompt. The output should look like this: CRCK ver 4.2B (MS DOS VERSION ) CTL-S pauses, CTL-C aborts --> FILE: READ .ME CRC = 7E 84 --> FILE: MANUAL . CRC = 02 3E --> FILE: SUPERCOM.COM CRC = 38 3C --> FILE: DIAL .COM CRC = 6C 0B --> FILE: DIALADD .COM CRC = ED 34 --> FILE: DIALDEL .COM CRC = 5F 8E --> FILE: DIALSHOW.COM CRC = AA 17 --> FILE: SUPPORT . CRC = B4 81 --> FILE: CHECK .COM CRC = BD 22 --> FILE: CHECK .TXT CRC = 19 E2 ---------------------> SUM OF CRCS = A7 67 DONE Note: the CRC for CHECK.TXT will be incorrect as will be the total, because you cannot write a file's CRC to the file without altering the CRC of that file.
