Can anyone verify/refute this? Has this been seen elsewhere (perhaps his copy is infected by an ordinary virus)? Can anyone at Microsoft make *objective* comments. How about anyone with an original, unaltered copy of MS-Word 1.0? Please examine the disk & report the location of the string, so others can find it. I hope this is just a rumor. - -David Richardson, The University of Texas at Arlington Bitnet: b645zax@utarlg Internet: b645zax@utarlg.arl.utexas.edu UUCP: ...!{ames,sun,texbell, <backbone>}!utarlg.arl.utexas.edu!b645zax SPAN: ...::UTSPAN::UTADNX::UTARLG::B645ZAX PhoNet: +1 817 461 4799 Fido: 1:130/13 USMail: 1904 Silverleaf Drive, Arlington, TX 76013
