You're right, I don't care too much about the possibility of viruses. And I really doubt that anyone would bother doing a virus in AREXX. A Trojan horse program, maybe. But it'd still be more "fun" to put that sort of thing in a binary that can't be defused with a text editor! Bad guys are really much more likely to stick bogus code in binary-only distributions simply because it's so much harder to find. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' ...texbell!sugar!peter, or peter@sugar.hackercorp.com 'U` ``Back off dude!
