The instructions that are sent with the program say that when compiled and run the program will draw a nice picture of a turkey. I have been informed that the program is a Trojan Horse. It does not draw a turkey, but it does erase all of the unprotected files in your directory. You might want to pass this information along to people you know who use the networks.

I don't know if it's related, but I've got a *file* here full of vt100 codes that draws a turkey running into an oven. -- @disclaimer(Any concepts or opinions above are entirely mine, not those of my employer, my GIGI, or my 11/34) beak is beak is not Anthony A.
