Please KEEP the rest of the files, or you might have problems running MicroCook. IMPORTANT!!! MCOOKxxx.ZIP has been ZIPped with a registered version of PKZIP, and has an Authenticity Verification built in. So when you un-ZIPped the MCOOKxxx.ZIP file, you should have seen a -AV after each file name, like: Inflating: MCOOK.EXE -AV and at the end of un-ZIPping these two lines: Authentic files Verified: # KEM280 NORSKI SOFTWARE The -AV mean that the file pass a checksum that was generated when I ZIPped up the file, and that it has NOT been changed since it left my PC. If you see the last two lines, it also tell you that ALL the files are exactly as they left my PC, and that the MCOOKxxx.ZIP has NOT been re-ZIPped or tampered with. Only NORSKi Software has the been assigned the ID# KEM280 from PKWARE, and this number can NOT be falsified. If one of the files do NOT pass the -AV verification, or the last two lines are missing or different, SOMEONE HAS CHANGED OR RE-ZIPPED MCOOKxxx.ZIP, and COULD have changed some of the files. You should then practice Safe Computing and run a virus checking program, just to be on the safe side. If you downloaded the MCOOKxxx.ZIP file from a BBS, the Sysop there might have added some advertising for his/her BBS as a part of the ZIP file. Some shareware distributors also like to add their own installation programs too. In those cases, there's probably nothing else added, but be safe and do a virus check. Happy Computing!
