   I used a MS Office version on the 486 Win3.1 pc and I looked at a file I   
   had written using Word using either the MS-DOS 5.0 DOSSHELL or LIST.COM   
   or maybe something else, and was suprised to see that several version of   
   what I had written were kept in the file above the final edit that I made   
   to it.   
      
   A few years back iirc I learned someone Emailed a .doc file and the   
   Receipient looked into it and read some of the things in the file that   
   had been edited out of the .doc file they received and learned something   
   they wasn't suppose to know about.   
   I 'think' the Sender of the Email got in BIG trouble over the incident.   
      
    EV> I learned that I must had accidently clicked the Link on MWB's   
    EV> screen to start the Trial Period for their Premium version.   
      
    EV> I think that Link is at the bottom right of the MWB window.   
      
   I looked, it is on the Right Side but a bit up from the bottom of the window.   
      
    HG> I'll check that sometime, but right now AVG and ZA are doing what they   
    HG> are designed to, I think!!   
      
   GOOD!   
      
    HG> But I still would like to get an anti advertising program.   
    HG> As I wrote before, the AdAware program has now become a full-fledged   
    HG> anti-virus program.   
      
   Maybe AdAware still offers downloads to their older versions.   
   I have it on Firefox but don't refer to it, I'm always clicking on the   
   NoScript icon next to it when I go to a unfamiliar website, but I haven't   
   seen any Advertisements, so I guess it's doing its job.
