Interferon actually means "Type 203 Anomaly", which translates to
"CODE resource found in non-application file". This message often
appears with compiler libraries, as they usually contain CODE resource,
but have a custom file type. I have also noticed this in Lightspeed
Pascal/C project files and DA Handler. If the file Interferon shouted
about doesn't fit in the cases I just described, check if there is a
plausible reason for the CODE resource to exist. If not, drop me a
note.
