NOT create executable files (self-extracting). DSI refuses to accept any executable file(s), which
have the potential of carrying a virus, even though virus detection
always stands in effect. It
is generally requested that data be compressed using WinZip with password
protection, and the password be supplied either verbally or via an
independent email. By using this
procedure, data can be verified by CRC for accuracy, to ensure that the data
was received correctly. DSI 329 North Avenue Abington, MA
