MetroNET BBS

If the archive fails the authentication test, please do NOT use
it and inform support@avp.ch immediately. 
This archive my only be obtained from Metropolitan Network BBSs
Web/FTP servers or BBS.
An additional level of security is provided through PGP 
digital signature (see below).


PGP digital signature
---------------------

To check the authenticity of the files INSTALL.EXE/DISK001.NID, you need
PGP, Pretty Good privacy. This file however is not a tutorial on how to
use PGP, it is assumed you know how to use it.

The files with an ".ASC" extension contain a detached digital signature.

To get the necessary PGP public, send an empty mail to: 
                        pgp@metro.ch 
within a minute or so, you will receive the necessary PGP public key you
have to add to your public key ring.

Check the integrity of [filename].exe like this:

PGP 2.6x

pgp [filename].asc [filename].exe

PGP will output a message like this:

[...]
Good signature from user "Gerard Vuille <gerard.vuille@metro.ch>".
[...]

If you're using PGP 5.0, you can verify the files signatures
through the Windows Explorer.

If you get a "bad signature" message, you are either using a
wrong public key from us, or the file has been tampered with.
Should the latter be the case, contact us immediately (support@avp.ch) and
don't run the archive.
