An article in the September 11th issue of Info-World warns of a DOS virus
which is supposed to be triggered on Oct. 12 and destroy hard disk track 0.
It is has been called, "Datacrime 89", A.K.A "The Columbus Day Virus",
A.K.A. "The Icelandic Virus."

It is reported to propogate itself by attaching to .COM files (COMMAND.COM
is supoosed to be immune).  The article offers a possible way to determine
if your file system might be infected.

Has anyone discovered this beasty on their system?
