└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
TETRIX has been archived with PKWARE's PKZIP 2.04g using Authenticity
Verification. When you unzip the archive, you should see "-AV" displayed
after every file name. When completed, a message that looks like this will
be displayed:
Authentic files Verified! # NWC217

If this authenticity statement is not displayed, or the authenticity code is
not "NWC217", then you have a copy of TETRIX that has been tampered with.
Do >not< use any of the files contained within a tampered archive, as they
may contain viruses, trojans, or other harmful things.
TETRIX has also been encrypted by a powerful encryption program. If the
executable file is tampered with, it will display a CRC warning and will not
run.
