!VKiller/Docs/Notice
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
Copyright Notice for the VKiller program ---------------------------------------- The !VKiller application and its associated documentation (from hereon known as "VKiller") are the exclusive copyright of Richard K. Lloyd (the "author"). VKiller has been released by the author into the Public Domain and is freely distributable, PROVIDING the following conditions are met: * Public Domain Software Libraries and another mass distribution outlets (such as magazine disks and bulletin boards) should make every effort to contact the author at the address below to confirm that they have the latest version of VKiller. Because this may involve a lot of work, I will ONLY respond to those organisations that enclose a blank formatted disk and an SAE (around 30p should cover it). Failure to enclose both may lead to a failure by the author to respond. The address to write to is: Richard K. Lloyd, If you access to JANET e-mail, then I am 1, Banks Road, available as rkl@uk.ac.liv.cs.and Lower Heswall, I can e-mail the latest VKiller in Spark 2 Wirral, format to anyone who requests it. Merseyside. L60 9JS Individual members of the public may also take advantage of this if they so wish, but they MUST also include a blank formatted disk and an SAE too. * VKiller should not be modified and then distributed in this modified way. Any enhancements or bug fixes to it should be posted/e-mailed to the above address. * Viruses unknown to VKiller should be sent (on disk preferably) to the above address and should be clearly marked on the disk as such. If you enclose an SAE too, the author will return an updated version of VKiller as soon as the code has been added to cope with the new virus. You will also get a mention in the documentation of course. The author is always willing to accept innoculation or removal code to stop the new virus, but reserves the right to merge and possibly slightly modify this code with VKiller's main program. In fact, the best method is to modify VKiller itself and send me the updated version with that new code in (however, users who do this should wait for my next official release of VKiller and not distribute the modified version). Full credit will be given in the documentation as usual. * VKiller should not be sold for profit. The author strongly feels that virus killers should be entirely free, otherwise the end-user gets caught in a never-ending and possibly costly upgrade path as new viruses are discovered. Permission, however, IS granted by the author for Public Domain Software Libraries to distribute VKiller for the cost of the disk and postage and packing. Under no circumstances should the cost of this exceed 5 pounds (which is an over-generous figure in itself). * Users of VKiller should please heed the following warning: Like almost any computer program, VKiller may contain minor bugs which should not affect the general running of the program, but may crop up occasionally due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. running on hardware/software/OS versions not the same as the author's or under certain conditions not yet tested by the author). Users are encouraged to send any bug reports to the author at the address specified earlier, but the author is NOT liable for any problems (disk crashes, hung machines and the such like) that may arise from these bugs. This stems from the fact that the software is FREE and cannot be guaranteed to be 100% bug-free. However, the author will always fix any reported bugs and release a fresh version of VKiller if the bug was serious enough. This document is (C) Richard K. Lloyd 1991
