The customer gets a Exe-xxx.zip, a Soft-xxx.zip ( with the source code in
case I forget it when going to site ), Notes-xxx.html and any other extra
bits in a zip. The customer then just saves the files, expands the Exe, and
reads the notes and I get free off-site backup of the source without
bothering the customer too much. The set of files are also then stored on the
mail server as a further backup. It has worked well - until Netscape decided
that we don't need it.
