SS> "-> I have come across several hundered virii in a disk ..."
  Some years ago, I wrote some programs that were suppose to be virus 
resistant in that if they detected themselves as infected, they noted the 
event on the screen and terminated themselves.  The only problem was that I 
could not locate any viruses to test these programs against.  Now that I have 
found a source of viruses, I no longer have the programs or the interest.  
However, the routines I used could not be used to protect *.EXE files from 
contamination.
  Has anyone done anything similar?
