While I know what you mean, Ross, I'd like to clarify for our readers:
the Tequila doesn't actually seem to share any code with the 1260 or
Virus-101 (no evidence that the author of the Tequila had seen either
of those), and a scanner that can handle variable-length "don't care"
areas can detect it with no problems.  DC
