There  is a program being passed around via ARPAnet (and also some other
computer networks) called "turkey".

The instructions that are sent with the program say that when
compiled and run the program will draw a nice picture
of a turkey.  I have been informed that the program is a Trojan Horse.  It
does not draw a turkey, but it does erase all of the unprotected
files in your directory.  You might want to pass this information along to
people you know who use the networks.
