Oh Raymond, please stop making a fool out of yourself. Ok it is possible
to include "dangerous ansi code" in plain text but :
1. This wouldn't be a virus since it doesn't replicate !
2. As long as you are stuck in your editor you are reading it with,
   it is completly harmless since ansi-bombs are only able to redefine
   keys. So if it redifines  to "format c: /autotest "
   what do you think would happen ? Right : as soon as you press 
   you will see a nice "format c:" in your editorscreen and then ? you
   know who send you this little joke. In order to make this dangerous
   you would have to include code to quit your editor and since all
   editors are different...
3. As long as you haven't loaded ANSI.SYS you are (nearly) completely safe
4. No sysop intrested in keeping his box would use this !
