There are some important changes for this release, primarily the ability 
to use 32-bit instructions if QAZ is run on a 80386 or later machine: if 
this causes problems, try running QAZ with the -M0 switch to disable CPU 
checking.

QAZ now has on-line help: to use, type QAZ -H.

Please see the WHATSNEW.TXT file for more detailed revision and version- 
history information.

Authentication of these files:

The digital signature of this file can be checked using PGP (although you
will need to obtain a copy of my public key, which should be available on
some keyservers).

To check, use: PGP README.1ST

You can check the MD5 (binary) values of against these:

 --- end: QAZ.MD5 ---

To check the values using MD5SUM: 'md5sum -cv qaz.md5'.

The sources for MD5SUM are available with the PGP sources-- or you may
find a compiled DOS version floating around somewhere. If not, another
MD5 hashing utility should return the same values.

By the way, The MD5 algorithm comes from RSA Data Security, Inc.
