Hello all,
I was trying to un-pak telix 3.10 archive, when I
noticed a strange comment. As I'm not sure if this archive
is the original, untouched source, I was wondering if someone
knows what it is. Here is the 'pkunpak -v' listing. Please note the
'Code_Conjurers' notice.

I have seen this often. The ARC has not been changed except for an
external comment being added to the header of the ARC file. This is done
automagically on many bbs's so they can get a little free advertising
about their BBS. If you check the CRC's against another copy of TELIX I
am sure they will be the same.
