I seem to have had something in the boot sectors of my disks that seeks
out program files (.TTP, .PRG...) and causes them to no longer be able
to read their data files (even when said files are perfectly good,
on the ramdisk, etc.)
The 'Peniciln' program stops this thing from attacking any more files.

Has anyone seen such a thing before?  I'll try to get some more inforamtion
with my sector editor, assuming that I didn't kill all my copies already.
(It seemed to spread very fast...)
