I should have a copy of an infected program sometime today.  I will
be emailing it to the following people, and any others who request
it.

Atul Butte atul@brownvm.bitnet atul@brownvm.brown.edu
John Norstad jln@acns.nwu.edu
Robert J Woodhead trebor@biar.UUCP
Ken Walter ken@claris.com
Paul Cozza
Jeff Shulman SHULMAN@SDR.SLB.COM

If your address is wrong, please correct it.

Re: the Macwite virus.  since my first report we have seen no other
copies of this change in Macwrite.  We are still trying to find one,
and know it exists, but are unable to locate a copy.  My copy is
missing.  Also, the STR 801 resource is sometimes created by Macwrite
itself.  However, Macwrite does not change its own name nor alter its
own ICN resources, which also happened.  

As I said, I will send copies of infected applications as soon as I get
one.  Thank you for your patience.
