Probably, but I'll end it with this message

Jerri Watson is a close and personal friend of ours.  When you see/hear from 
her, tell her that Jeff and Nancy in San Antonio miss her and think of her 
often.  She's also friends of 1:112/1011, but we don't hold that against her.

He recently posted in the COUNTRY echo, lamenting what was going on in net 
112 with Rick Williams.  Tottaly off-topic (as if we weren't but as I said, 
this is the last)

More like Jerry molded them the way he was thinking...  He's attacked Nancy 
and I several times in the past 2 years, for simply speaking our mind.

Best of luck to you on that.
Speaking of Viruses, (and getting back on topic ) a friend has wrote a 
program that simply does nothing other than makes a copy of the MBR, stores 
it someplace, and then on subsequent invoking, will copy the current MBR to 
one that you already have (handy say, in the Autoexec.bat file) and if it 
comes up with a mismatch, it stops right there, and tells you "YOU'VE GOT A 
PROBLEM".  Eventually, there are plans for furthering the sophistication of 
the program, but I think it's quite interesting and well done as it is...

I'm sure you will...
Good talking to ya.
