# Introduction to the Anti-viral archives... # Listing of 22 June 1989 This posting is the introduction to the "official" anti-viral archives of virus-l/comp.virus. With the generous cooperation of many sites throughout the world, we are attempting to make available to all the most recent news and programs for dealing with the virus problem. Currently we have sites for Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, IBMPC and Macintosh microcomputers, as well as sites carrying research papers and reports of general interest. We don't yet have a site dedicated to the "big boys", but are on the look. There have been nibbles. If you have general questions regarding the archives, you can send them to this list or to me. I'll do my best to help. If you have an archive site and would like to volunteer your site (and are in a position to do so! :-), send me a message. Also, if you have a submission for the archives, you can send it to me or to one of the persons in charge of the relevant sites. With this update I'd like to welcome two new sites. Mac folks probably are already familiar with sumex. Now it has been granted "official" status. :-) Another new site is unm, which provides ethics related papers (university policies, state laws, etc.). Give it a look! If you have any corrections to the lists, please let me know. - -- Jim Wright jwright@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu

In about a week I will be moving to Hawaii to take up a new job. I'd like to thank ISU's Computer Science Department for allowing me to use their facilities in setting up comp.virus and the anti-viral archives. I hope to have access to the net from my new job. See you in a month! Jim Wright jwright@cs.iastate.edu [Ed. Good luck on the new job, Jim! Your efforts here have always been greatly appreciated by many! Give my regards to Maui and Kauai. Until Jim is back on-line, if anyone has administrative changes to make to the archive sites, please contact me, and I'll update this list.]
