After downloading it, I ran SCAN V35 (old, I know) and to my amazement, it said that the file M-1704.EXE was infected with the "1701/1704 Version B virus"! Does this program include a string in it that might cause SCAN to indicate a virus (a false alert) or can I assume that this file is infected?? Please reply direct to me, *not* to VALERT-L....or then again, maybe the response should be posted here. I am under the impression that the Wellspring BBS (1-714-8567996) is an anti-viral storage site. James Ford (205) 348-1713 JFORD1@UA1VM.BITNET
