                                it's fast. We will be using this newer
                                format here on HUG/TBBS, so get this file!!

                                to use now).  Now includes ZIPFIX! This
                                latest version now has a more efficient

                                products, both old and new. It is by no means
                                complete, but it does contain longer
                                descriptions of each product; a good majority
                                of which, have appeared in the Bargain Centre,
                                and will probably appear, in the future. If
                                you buy products from the Bargain Centre, get
                                this file. The descriptions are from ZDS, and
                                is copyrighted Zenith Data Systems (c) 1990.
