BEWARE!!!

There has been discussion on Compuserve about the appearance of 
"Stuffit 2.0d1", which popped up on a few boards around the country.

Since Raymond Lau (no relation) has repeatedly said that there is no
Stuffit 2.0, speculation has centered on whether or not this mythical
"Stuffit" is a trojan horse.  It showed up at BMUG yesterday, and the
one person who ran the program began experiencing problems with his
hard drive after running it.

Be careful out there!
