It appears that the atari sig has missed the discussion that i saw on the 
info-cpm mailnet regarding trojan horse programs.  Never try out a new non-
commercial program on an unprotected system.  Be able to disconnect your 
Wini or have a fresh back up on the shelf.  Some of these numbers have been
really insideous, like worms, slowly eating away files, or worse yet subtly
corrupting them, so that by the time you notice even your back ups were
damaged.  I seem to recall that a PD CP/M program was offered on Simtel-20
that scanned the program of your choice for disk I/O and flagged it for 
analysis.		regards, der
