For those needing to build a knowledge base on MS-DOS based PC viruses, the best place to start is Patricia Hoffman's excellent (am biased) VSUM list (I believe VSUM9008 is the most current but VSUM9010 may be out next week - no 9009). 295k of ASCII text, it is the most exhaustive listing I know of with information on origins, symptoms, dates, effects, and commentary. It is at most of the Virus-L archives or from HOMEBASE (408)988-4004. Meanwhile, will be at the Omni next week & still wonder where the party is. (Have a D&P show though).
