Recently, David Beckemeyer mentioned the German paint program from the GEnie
libraries (PUBPAINT.ARC) as a possible virus source. David provided me with
more information on why he suspected the program. I downloaded it, and
check it quite thoroughly. It does not contain, or generate, any virus.
David's suspicions were due to a function call the program made, which
was rather unusual. It did indeed do what he thought, but not for the
purpose of generating a virus. The program does do quite a few wierd
sound effects, and handle a few functions in some rather unusual ways,
but none of them are harmful.
