Just as a thought, it shouldn't be too difficult to arrange something
based on a date/time stamp placed upon any *new* virus mentioned on
virus-l.  This would naturally be based purely on the judgement, spare
time and goodwill of the list moderator :-)...It could be as simple as
a text file (document) listing virus-l reference name and known
aliases (as they appear).

If the aforementioned spare time (!) and good will stretch far enough,
another useful add-on would be a cumulative list of virus-l references
kept with each virus name entry.  This is of course quite audacious to
propose, but I think it would enhance the value of the list (and
particularly the archives) considerably.  It seems like a sufficiently
worth-while effort that the member- ship might propose indexing the
archives to their various employers as a project worthy of
institutional support.  (Money, labor, whatever.)  I will.
