We have this PC emulation VAXPC V1.0 running under VMS V5.1-1 with
DECwindows.  Is it possible that PC viruses have the same or at least
a similar effect on this emulation i.e. deleting/altering files stored
on the virtual disk? Or are there any known viruses that jump out of
the emulation and affect files under VMS? Sounds stupid but ifever
anyone out there in netland has made bad experiences let me know.
