I have no idea how to make a virus.  I also have no idea how to stop one.  If
someone posted a virus I would not read it to learn how to stop so I could
right my own.  Why should I when there are great humanitarians like Greg L.
running around (Thanks Greg!).  On the other hand, I would like to see the
code with an explanation of how it works just so I can learn a little about
the subject.  I wont be creating any vires (sp?) and I wont be creating any
vaccination programs but I would like to know how they work.
