In addition to the files mentioned here, I'm trying to see that
all the IBMPC archive sites are "in sync" with one another.  This
generally means that older files will be sent to sites, but there
are some goodies out there.  After a while, check up on your favorite
archive site.

Short listings...

ckot095.zip     Shell program to use with scanv and archived files
dirtyd9b.zip    Version 9B of the Dirty Dozen list of Trojan programs
fsp_17.arc      FluShot+ v1.7, checksums and resident protection
nobrains.arc    Docs and progs for dealing with Brain virus
scanrs49.zip    Resident program to scan executables for viruses
scanv49.zip     Program to scan files/dirs/disks for viruses
shez491.zip     Shell program to use with scanv and archived files
virstop.zip     Resident program to scan executables for viruses


Long listings...

ckot095.zip
	Update to the shell program for manipulating archives.  (ARC,
	ZOO, PAK, ZIP, LZH, etc.)  Compatible with scanv.  Should fix
	previous problem with deleting files.  DOS4.01 users be cautious.
	This program is meant for command line and batch usage.
dirtyd9b.zip
	Excellent list of Trojan Horse and pirated programs.  As
	for the virus listings, they seem to be in a *very* preliminary
	stage of development.  Two of the "virus" listings include:
	|	COMMAND.COM
	|		This is a traditional Virus.  Originating
	|		in colleges and universities across the
	|		nation, and in particular at Lehigh
	|		College, this virus will embed itself in
	|		COMMAND.COM.
	Remember, command.com is a virus which infects itself, in a
	traditional sort of way. :-)
	|	UNIX
	|		Version 4.3 of UC Berkley's UNIX is
	|		apparently an INTERNET virus which
	|		travels by mail packet.  Beware.
	Got that?  Everybody delete that nasty Unix from your systems. :-)
fsp_17.arc
	Version 1.7 of FluShot+.  Checksums files, and provides runtime
	protection from malicious programs.  One of the many documentation
	files provided is 40 pages long.  There's lots of information
	for beginning to intermediate DOS users.  Apparently this
	announcement slipped through the cracks earlier.
nobrains.arc
	I took a couple existing programs to eradicate the Brain virus,
	found the source code for them and packed it all up together with a
	bunch of informational text.  Starter kit for the brain infected.
scanrs49.zip
	Yet another update.  Includes table of viruses and characteristics,
	plus validation program.
scanv49.zip
	Yet another update.  Includes table of viruses and characteristics,
	plus validation program.
shez491.zip
	Update to the shell program for manipulating archives.  (ARC,
	ZOO, PAK, ZIP, LZH, etc.)  Compatible with scanv.  This program
	is meant for interactive browsing.
virstop.zip
	A program that does essentially what scanres does, but according
	to the author, it's cheaper and it's faster.
