  You were saying there is no technical reason ACT couldn't post a
file with a secure signature on cs.nyu.edu, right?

  Why they would want to go to the extra trouble, just to aid the
competition (the public version being a competitor to the supported
version), is not obvious.  You or I could simply announce "I've
checked the version at cs.nyu.edu and it's correct" but would
anybody to whom that's really important consider that statement
credible?  Would you, or anyone, volunteer, for free, to be on the
receiving end of potential lawsuits if the version somehow wasn't
correct?  Of people downloading the $0 version, I suspect many have
a version of Netscape or IE or ftp, and a version of pkzip or
winzip, downloaded for free and of equally uncertain pedigree.  What
good would a certified version at cs.nyu.edu do if it's potentially
corrupted once it's on your machine and unpacked?
