Hello, all.

Antivirus software is also available at the SIMTEL20 archives. FTP access is supported. If you don't have FTP, send the following commands to LISTSERV@RPIECS: HELP GET PDGET HELP /PDDIR PD:<MSDOS.TROJAN-PRO>FPROT* 365 /PDGET BITSEND PD:<MSDOS.TROJAN-PRO>FPROT111.ZIP > "A Kleenex in the the hand is worth two in the box" "History repeats itself.
