Esteemed Users,
For the last year, this software has been marketed by
an organization called Checkbox Software. As of 04/14/94 all
affiliations between Accurate Technologies (my company) and
Checkbox Software are disolved.
Legally, Accurate Technologies is no longer associated
with Checkbox Software in any way. Unfortunately, several
thousand copies of my software have been distributed through
shareware channels. Logistically this means that one tie is
left un-cut, and odds are at least some users will attempt to
register Disk Factory through Checkbox.
This alarming situation places some number of potential
users, and their satisfaction with my software, beyond my direct
control. User satisfaction is VERY important to me, and I am
extending the following offer:

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
