# Introduction to the Anti-viral archives...
# Listing of 04 March 1990

This posting is the introduction to the "official" anti-viral archives
of VIRUS-L/comp.virus.  With the generous cooperation of many sites
throughout the world, we are attempting to make available to all
the most recent news and programs for dealing with the virus problem.
Currently we have sites for Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, IBMPC, Macintosh
and Unix computers, as well as sites carrying research papers and
reports of general interest.

If you have general questions regarding the archives, you can send
them to this list or to me.  I'll do my best to help.  If you have a
submission for the archives, you can send it to me or to one of the
persons in charge of the relevant sites.

If you have any corrections to the lists, please let me know.

The files contained on the participating archive sites are provided freely
on an as-is basis.

To the best of our knowledge, all files contained in the archives are either
Public Domain, Freely Redistributable, or Shareware.  If you know of one
that is not, please drop us a line and let us know.  Reports of corrupt
files are also welcome.

PLEASE NOTE
The Managers of these systems, and the Maintainers of the archives, CAN NOT
and DO NOT guarantee any of these applications for any purpose.  All possible
precautions have been taken to assure you of a safe repository of useful
tools.

A side note...  This will be my last archive site list sent out from
Iowa State University.  In about a week I will be moving to Hawaii to
take up a new job.  I'd like to thank ISU's Computer Science Department
for allowing me to use their facilities in setting up comp.virus and
the anti-viral archives.  I hope to have access to the net from my new
job.  See you in a month!

[Ed. Good luck on the new job, Jim!  Your efforts here have always
been greatly appreciated by many!  Give my regards to Maui and Kauai.

Until Jim is back on-line, if anyone has administrative changes to
make to the archive sites, please contact me, and I'll update this
list.]
