Seems like just a few weeks ago, there was a net discussion of liability
of a commercial vendor if a virus was found on a commercial distribution.
Someone's crystal ball was tuned in quite clearly!
If someone will reproduce this disk, and mail me a copy, I'll add this
virus to the detect-and-kill capabilities for the next posting of the
virus killer.
