			AIDS INFORMATION DISK
			=====================


The latest on this is as follows:

If you have run this disk contact ROBERT WALCZY at PC Business World
on 01-831 9252 they have a FREE disk that combats the effects of the
disk and they will send a copy to users effected.

Either call Robert of FAX him on 01-405 2347 with your name and address.

The disk should be available in the next day or two.

The program will be available on CONNECT (01-863 6646) for download as
soon as it has been tested.


=======================================================================


The AIDS disk when installed creates a number of hidden files and
directories.  You can remove these files by running the program
mentioned above or by using the Norton Utilities, PC Tools or equivalent
program.

The files that are hidden include a new AUTOEXEC.BAT and a number of
other files and directories that contain characters that can not be
accessed by standard DOS commands.  You will need to rename the files/
directories before they can be deleted.


This information will be updated as we learn more about the disk.
