well.. something comes to mind... i was reading about the UPS
two-dimentional barcode, and they said something about all the data in the
barcode is completely recoverable, even if over half the pattern is torn off
or worn away... how about something similar for exe's...  not a barcode...
but... a way of restoring exe's when something has changed their size and
crc32...

i dunno... maybe that'd be an even greater task.. (and take up more space...
of course the recovery program and recovery data could be stored on a
central location... possibly storing the pattern info on a CD-RW, and using
a normal CD-ROM to access it would be **almost** perfect security from virii
and their ilk.

(i know i'm way out of my own field now.. so i'll just hush and let that
idea settle in the swamps and float away)
