We here at the University of Rochester may have discovered a new
virus, or a variation on a theme.  What it does is infect Macwrite and
the Chooser, so that when a document is printed, Macwrite crashes.
The virus changes the name to Macwight or Macwite, but this is the
only clue so far.  I am trying to get more data, more none is
forthcoming.  I will do what i can today and tommorrow, and give
furthr reports.  Disinfectant 1.1 doesn't work, so please email me the
latest version of disinfectant to try.  The sooner the better, because
the Vice-Provost's office is infected, and they may lose a 75 page
report for the government.  (What, no backups?  What do you think.
Argh.)
