It > looks like Arabic to me. This text is found inside the French "Mardi > Bros" virus. "Sudah ada vaksin" is an Indonesian language which is mean "There is a vaccine". And I believe that Mardi Bros virus is made by Indonesian, I have a small article about it in Indonesia Computer magazine. I don't have it on hand, but it looks like a modification of DenZuk which is made by Indonesian also. Mul sulistio@sutro.sfsu.edu

"Does the text 'Sudah ada vaksin' mean anything in language?" A short quote like that is similar to the Rosarch <sp?> ink blot test. One can read different things into it. As one person said, it could be for "I should have had a vaccine." From my knowledge of Latvian, the quote looks like a scatalogical reference to vaccines, something roughly translated as "Excrement upon vaccine". But the quote is not Latvian. It may be another language of Eastern Europe, perhaps Lithuanian or Polish. Again, the quote is much too short and I am am an ameteur linguist. As for the question about the word "KONIEC" meaning anything, perhaps it is a Eastern European (Slavic, perhaps) derivation of the German word "Koenig" (can't render an umlaut here) meaning "King" , "Monarch". I hope this may provide clues to answer the question. J. D. Abolins 301 N. Harrison Str. #197 Princeton, NJ 08540 609-633-0740

Wrong! Word "KONIEC" is perhaps from Polish language and mean "THE END". As I said before, whole text was "The end of the program". Cedomir Igaly Zagreb - Yugoslavia

Dear ameteur linguist, > Rosarch <sp?> ink blot test. Rorschach is a Swiss town at the Bodensee (lake of Constance), where this test presumably has been developed. > As for the question about the word "KONIEC" meaning anything, KONIEC (spelled in various ways according to language, but pronounced nearly identically) is found in South-Slavic languages, notably Serbo-Croatic, and if I'm not mistaken also in West-Slavic languages (as Polish, Czech and Slovakian). It's meaning is "end" (noun). > I hope this may provide clues to answer the question. So do I. Best wishes Otto Stolz
