no problem, i understand not providing the virus source code info. and
appreciate the info. regarding ansi replacements. my only interest in
virus souce code is that such programs are rather compact and would be
rather easier for someone with almost no assembly language exp.to
understand. i am at kevlar@gte.net if you reconsider. i personally find
the individuals who propagate these things as being rather ineffectual
impotent malcontents. i'm in the process of upgrading my anti-virus protocols
and recently have read some rather informative posts regarding recovery
from such transgressions. thanx for the info. i certainly appreciate your
reply. best regards.
