I have received many inquires as to why SIMTEL20 does not have VSUM,
Patricia Hoffman's virus summary list.

SIMTEL20 is prohibited by the author from carrying VSUM.  Patricia
Hoffman blamed us for a problem caused by someone who downloaded her
file from our collection.  Since her virus summary list is copyrighted
we must comply with her wishes, even though the file is available on
almost any BBS and many other FTP sites.

The file is available from risc.ua.edu [130.160.4.7] in the directory
pub/ibm-antivirus.
