Here the respons from Timo from garbo to my attempt to upload DISLITE.EXE
to their. I fully agree with his reasoning. I will not try to upload it
to onother site but if anyone would want that they can contact the author
I suppose. He was one of those who responded to one of my articles and
should be somewere in the mailqueue. The author does not like to be contacted
so try it on your own risk!

Sorry Nico.  I understand that you mean well, but we cannot accept
this.

All the best, Timo

I fully agree that the decision of PKWare to have the option to make
pkliting irreversible was a bad one from the point of virus checking
and I wish that they would change their policy.  Nevertheless there
is no way I will accept this file to garbo FTP archives unless
PKWare officially and explicitly sanctions such dislite programs. 
Acquiring such a permission is up to the writer of a dislite.  We
will _not_ be part in any compromizing situation.
