I just wanted to confirm 2 things John Norstad said, since he's
the author of Disinfectant and the suspicious might not believe
him.
(1) Checking floppies is intrusive: we have SAM here, and
put it on a few public machines as an experiment. The
staff don't usually use these machines (they are demo
and consulting units); even so, the *staff* couldn't
stand the constant hassle of the check. I don't want
to think about what our customers felt.
(2) He claimed that his INIT doesn't interfere with anything
else. I think Disinfectant is the most compatible program
I've ever had to work with, and I speak as one who, 5-6
times a week, has a conversation that starts with "Try
removing all INITs from your System Folder".
Disinfectant is great!
