Subj: Virus/SpeedySmith

It is hard to infect any SpeedySmith disk at all: if someone tries to
change the bootsector, it won't work anymore. And as there is no directory
on this disk (that is relevant to SpeedySmith), any virus will have a hard
time with it. What I *wanted* to say is that you should go on hunting
for that virus instead of thinking it was sufficient to burn the disk
with SpeedySmith on it. I tried to get at least one member of The Fuck/
Sergeant Claude here today, but I could reach nobody... But I'm fairly
sure that they didn't put anything nasty into their masterpiece...
