::)    Ha. I never see Cascade to replicate by myself. Fine.
 
It depends on exactly which Cascade exactly you're talking about.  You
at first mentioned "the first Cascade".  Originally, Cascade was a
trojan horse not a virus, so it did NOT replicate.  Someone changed the
code around 1987 to make it a memory resident .COM file infector.  Most
variants *WILL* replicate, causing .COM file growth by about 1700 bytes.
 
However, many variants will *NOT* infect any files on a "true" IBM pc
(made by IBM).
