WARNING!!! To all people who sent a disk to David A. Liscomb a while back
for the game Nethack 2.3e, if you are having any disk drive troubles, get a
virus checker. I got a case of the Byte Bandit virus that rampaged through
half of my disks, and the only place I can find that the virus would have come
from is off the disk that he sent me. The symptoms of this virus are:
Computer lock-up. (Most serious.)
Disk drive gives errors when write-protect tab set to inhibit.
says "Disk not validated" or something like that. DON'T
un-protect the disks!! This is how the virus spreads.
Disk drive will not initialize disks.
Much thanks to Byte Bandit, whoever he is, I'd like to send *him* a virus
that would wipe out his entire disk collection. And to Liscomb, if this did
come from him, thanks. I knew you were sending me some extra stuff, but the
virus is not what I had in mind.
