READ THE WARRANTY.

Your _lot_ of dollars went towards buying a set of floppies.  If the
floppies are not defect free, they will replaced free of charge.

I am not aware of any System V vendor that sells software; they only
sell defect free floppies, and incidentally you also get the right to
use a thing called System V that may or may not be on the floppies and
about which they will not make any representation.

READ THE WARRANTY.
