Not having ever seen this "trojan horse" called "Turkey", I really
can't say much about it, except this.. All it does is delete all the
files in your current directory? This you call a "trojan horse"? This
I call a mild nuisance.. We all do backups right? Daily incrementals
and all that.. So.. The most I'd lose is a day... Big deal. Hell, I've
had days where it would have saved me a lot of wasted time had such a
beast come my way! (oh yeah, :') ...)

Actually, most sane people would only lose the program itself, we all
compile and run these net derived programs from a safe place right?
And only after reading the code.. It's pretty hard to miss a
"lib$delete_file" or "sys$erase" etc..

I guess I'm just in one of those funky moods...
