An article in The Daily Telegraph, Saturday April 6th p.2 col.1 about computer
crime:

" ... [at] the 20th Interpol European conference in London [yesterday]
...  Det. Insp. John Austen, who runs the computer crime unit of the
Metropolitan Police Fraud Squad ... [and is] chairman of Interpols's
European computer crime working party ... [said that] `... By the end
of the year, Interpol will have set up a computer virus library in
Holland, to provide a central information point for European police
forces, and a database from which to send out warnings of any major
virus attack. ... An index of 400 computer viruses had been compiled,
with cures for most of them.'"
