Just got off the phone with a friend of mine in Kansas City, MO.  He
has been infected with the Stoned virus (don't know which variant).

He apparently contracted the infection from a borrowed copy of
Ontrack's Disk Manager.  The diskette was obtained from the Computer
Resale Center in Kansas City.  He has not booted up with any other
diskettes in quite some time, so he strongly suspects the Disk Manager
diskette.  Fortunately for him, he had already cleaned off the drive
and was preparing to low-level format the hard drive anyway.  He will
start with a cold boot from a clean diskette before proceeding (don't
want to spread the beast any further).

He has contacted the vendor and alerted them to the problem.  As
always, there are no guarantees, but it would seem that the Ontrack
diskette caused the infection.

Disclaimer:  This was meant for information only.  It was not intended to nail
             anyone to the wall (except for the ******* that wrote the virus
             to begin with!!)
