It looks like we have an archive site for Unix anti-virus software (wuarchive.wustl.edu (IP#=128.252.135.4)). Now all we need is some software for the archive. It would seem logical to start by putting all of the documents on the Internet Worm there (which is already done), but I'd also like to see some software tools. For example, a tool for automating checksums (and/or CRCs) on specified, or all, binary files would be a good starting point. The files on wuarchive.wustl.edu are in "~ftp/usenet/comp.virus". The current document files there are in the "doc" directory (of the above directory) and any programs, as they're made available, will be in the "src" directory. Contributions of both software and documentation are encouraged, as are ideas, suggestions, comments, etc. And thanks to Chris Myers for supplying the archive directory! Thanks, Ken

About the UNIX anti-archive site at wustl.edu. This sounds great, but since we (and a lot of other people) aren't on the Internet, we can't get to it. Would it be possible to set up an anonymous UUCP account or an archive-server mail demon on the system? Many people would be grateful. [Ed. This was sent to me personally, but I thought that others may be interested... The answer is that the people coordinating the Unix archive sites are working on the problems. We hope to be able to make a mail-archive and an anonymous UUCP available in addition to the current anonymous FTP. No estimate on time, but it's being worked on...] - --- Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs, 1 Industrial ave. 019-890, Lowell MA 01851 fitz@wang.com uunet!wang!fitz 508-967-5865
