In response to the question about the FAT from a locked disk being
written to another disk this is a feature of MS-DOS, not a virus.

Another chilling scenario conserns running an application such as a
word processor, opening a document, exchangeing data diskettes, and
saving a "backup" of the file.  This often hoses the "backup" disk and
sometines affects the origional file.
