   [Information from Safe Program]
   Safe is FREEWARE program
   DESCRIPTION
   Safe is small CLI command to detect [linkviruses] in your system.
   It checks memory and itself only when running and NOT resides
   anywhere in memory. The only resident thing is TCP patch - see
   TCPPATCH/S.  Safe allows You to remove almost EVERY patch from
   (New)LoadSeg - see VECS/S

   All you have to do is to use my installer script or put Safe icon
   to your partition and run it when you need.  Don`t forget that
   Safe runned more times = safer system, so you can add also Safe
   to buttons of Opus, Diskmaster etc.

   Safe can discover new viruses only when it`s file is placed in
   write-enabled device with some free space. Standard RAM: cannot
   be used because it`s always 100% full, and lot of viruses can`t
   infect files placed in RAM:

   If Safe works - you will not see anything.If virus found you have
   to run big viruskiller like VirusChecker and remove it.

                     The eXternal Virus Support Library
        Copyright Georg Hörmann, Alex van Niel and Jan Erik Olausen

   [Information from Virus Help Denmark]
   The entire XVS software package is written and copyright 1997-99 by
   Georg Hvrmann. During December 1999 to June 2001, Alex van Niel took
   over programming. Additional changes and updates during June 2001 and
   onwards are copyright 2001 Georg Hörmann and Jan Erik Olausen.

   This Library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that
   was formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one
   major reason: VirusZ can be updated fast without releasing the whole
   package every week by simply releasing a new library version.
                                      
   So simply install the library in this archive to your LIBS: drawer
   to get 100% protection against the latest viruses.
                                      
   Right now there are a few anti-virus that uses the xvs.library to
   find and remove the nasty viruses. Here are the names:
   VirusZ II & III - VirusChecker II - VirusExecutor - VirusSlayer II
   CheckX - Safe.

   [Note from Virus Help Team Canada]
   Andrew Bell uses Xvs.library in Voodoo-X, which is the GUI for the
   XAD package from Dirk Stoecker.

                       An Offline HTML Files Viewer
                         Copyright Sebastian Bauer

   [Information from SimpleHTML site]
   SimpleHTML allows you to view HTML Files offline. It is useful to show
   smaller HTML files quickly (for instance as MIME Viewer for HTML files
   in YAM). But it supports only a little subset of the HTML Tags. Also
   an html.datatype is available.

   Requirements:
   The requirements are very low. You only need at least OS3.0. To view
   embedded pictures you also need some installed picture datatypes.

   Special Note: Some versions of Safe has been packed with LZX instead of
   LhA. LZX is available on Aminet, and works similar to LhA. Another way to
   unarchive the file, is by using the excellent XAD package. The XAD package
   is shareware, but well worth the small investment.

     The Anti-Virus Page includes the TestVirus File. This archive includes
     a set of testfiles, for people who want to check the proper operation
     of their anti-virus software without using actual viruses. These files
     will be reported as virus infected if your anti-virus system is
     properly installed. (TestVirus archive by Zeeball and Dirk)
