I'm unclear about the STR 801 discussion. Let me tell a little story to see if I can further confuse things. About 4 months ago a client reported that MacWrite was growing in file size on a public Mac. I checked to see that VACCINE was turned on. I ran Disinfectant 1.2. A clean machine. I then ran ResEdit to look at the MacWrite file. There were a large number of STR 801 resources. The program was adding STR 801 resources at some unknown interval. I replacedthe file with a fresh copy of MacWrite and the problem disappeared. I put it down to normal computer miseries and not a computer virus.
