If I may be permitted to post a very basic question?  Although I have
over ten years' experience in DP, and can intuit how viruses might
operate, I find myself distressingly unfamiliar with the practical
side and jargon.  Is there a good reference on the subject with which
I can begin to bring myself up to speed?

Please reply by E-mail to Q4071@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU.  The retention
periods have gotten very short on this system, and I may not log on in
time to see posted replies (not to mention the probable duplication).

[Ed. I'd be willing to bet that there are others with the same
questions - please send a summary of any responses to the list.]
