Dear VIRUS-L subscriber,
I think the following contribution from the Novell LAN Interest Group
<NOVELL at SUVM.BITNET> will be interseting to you, as well.
If you want to comment, please direct your response both to VIRUS-L and
either to the Novell Group or the original sender, George Saba <N7FRJ at
UWALOCKE.BITNET, N7FRJ at Locke.hs.washington.edu>.
Best wishes
Otto
