More programs for the IBMPC anti-viral archives.

COLUMBUS.ARC
	Program to backup track zero of a hard drive and restore
	track zero.  Meant for disaster recovery, such as that
	from "Columbus Day" virus.  Includes source!
M-3066.ARC
	Program to repair damage due to the new "3066" virus.
	Checks and repairs and entire drive.  Use with caution.
SCANRES7.ARC
	Memory resident program to check each program for viruses
	before it is executed.  This replaces the previous release
	of scanres.
SCANV37.ARC
	Scans hard drives or floppies for viruses.  This replaces
	the previous release of scanv.
VIRSIMUL.ARC
	Program to simulate the non-destructive effects of various
	viruses.  Very useful in figuring out what everyone else
	is talking about.

Here are the one line descriptions:

COLUMBUS.ARC    Save & restore track zero of hard drive.
M-3066.ARC      Recover from the 3066 virus.
SCANRES7.ARC    Resident program to detect viruses.
SCANV37.ARC     Scans drives and reports presence of viruses.
VIRSIMUL.ARC    Simulates non-destructive behavior of viruses.

Mr McAfee shortly ago said that the size of SCAN.EXE had been and would 
continue to be 34400 bytes. SCAN.EXE in SCANV37.ARC from SIMTEL20 is
34432 bytes long.
 
Is the file OK? Or is it a hacked copy?
