I could probably write all day about common IBM viruses, and still not scratch the surface. The best thing to do is to grab a piece of anti-viral software, and read the virus information that comes with it. As for a good virus scanner, try F-PROT 2.06a ... It is available from SIMTEL20 and it's mirrors (such as oak.oakland.edu if you are unfamiliar with SIMTEL20) in the pub/msdos/trojan-pro directory. Filename is fp-206a.zip .... -- John Mechalas "I'm not an actor, but mechalas@gn.ecn.purdue.edu I play one on TV." Aero Engineering, Purdue University #include disclaimer.h
