Well, I guess it is proper and legal and OK - then.  The entire disk contents
were released as freeware with no restrictions and has been online now for
years.

The text files are simply a ZBasic tutorial for the users,  written by the
author of the other cool programs, readers and navagation launchers on the
disk.  I seem to recall 'Dekard' (spelling///) as the name of the author that
wrote them and released the French disk containing them.   Nice disk of
freeware too.  I think it had a DHR graphics program that was even better than
DazzleDraw (which should soon become a freeware also).  I'll have to find where
 it is online and post the URL.  I'm fairly sure it's on both Ground and my own
website in that disk archive.  Perhaps other sites also have it too.

Now that ZBasic has been released as a freeware without distribution
restrictions, someone should contact the programs author about getting 
premission to make the ZBasic official manual available online  in some format.
 I don't know about a 64K version manual.  But, I have the original 128K
version manual.  Until such premission for an online official manual in some
format is obtained and varified, the ZBasic user tutorial on that french
freeware release disk - will have to do.
