# Introduction to the Anti-viral archives...
# Listing of 14 July 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.  Volunteers welcome.

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.

I have completed my research here at Iowa State and will soon be
moving on.  I'll keep the list updated as to my whereabouts.
(I *do* plan on having net access at my next job! :-)

This round of announcements introduces Simtel to the IBMPC side
of our archives.  With the mail-based service many other sites provide
for the Simtel archives, this should provide access to the archives
to many "Bitnet-bound" folks out there.

If you have any corrections to the lists, please let me know.
It appears I completely fumbled the Mac listings last time.  The
list should be correct now.
