*I* do, but the Joe Schmoe I replace probably doesn't.  The thing of it
is, if I've read this correctly, this is a single program.  Hopefully,
it gets installed to a library called FAST400 or, better yet, README or
even YOURMOTHER (what would _you_ do if you came across a library called
README or YOURMOTHER?) and the install library should have a real README
file that describes what this is and all the other warnings that have
been discussed so far.  "Call Tiger Tools before installing any PTF."

Hey, what happens if Tiger Tools closes shop?  Are they gonna tell its
customers how to contact the developer?  Is that in the contract or
license agreement?
