APPLE.RX was written by Glen Bredon and has appeared on the comercial on-line
services such as Compuserve and Genie.  He asks in his documentation that
Apple.RX not be distributed on local bulletin boards or in the standard
shareware manner because it is, itself, a prime target for attack by virus
programmers.  Unofficial versions may be bogus.  The program can be obtained
directly from Bredon, 521 State Road, Princeton, N.J. 08540, for $25 beginning
in September.  It requires a IIgs or an enhanced IIe or IIc with a 65802
microprocessor.

Give me a break! Have viruses (and all their associated paranoia) infected
the Apple world now too? If so, will someone please explain their nature
to me, ie: how do they work? Is it like Disease Dos or Time Bomb??

I may be completely misunderstanding everything; if so, please forgive me
as I have not been following this thread of discussion.
