I asked John Norstad whether Disinfectant 2.3 was effective against ZUC B (a.k.a ZUC 2) or whether there would be a new version. He responded that version 2.4 should be out in a few days. I'll append some extra information he sent to me later. I am posting this here because I am sure many of you have wondered about that too. I hope this will save you and him time by making similar inquieries unnecessary. ************************************************************** Wolfgang N.

Yes, whenever I make vacation plans, I always worry that a new virus will show up just before I leave or while I'm gone. This time it happened - I got the new ZUC B virus late last Tuesday, and I left for my vacation on Wednesday morning. Fortunately, the original ZUC A virus was never widespread, and we have no reason to believe that ZUC B is widespread or terribly damaging or dangerous. So I figured that Disinfectant 2.4 could wait for a week or so while I was gone. John Norstad Academic Computing and Network Services Northwestern University jln@casbah.acns.nwu.edu
