I have tried it to remove Stoned virus from the partition table of a hard disk and it seems to work ok. However when I tried to remove the same virus from the boot sector of a floppy I keep getting an Abort error message - not able to continue (from the program). As the documentation on this package is rather scarce I would appreciate any advice or comment( I have followed the procedure as given in the documentation several times to make sure I did it right!). Our DOS is version 3.3 and I used the MD33 F command to disenfect floppies. Bob.Gowans PS. I obtained the package from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL PD1:MD.ARC.1 JANET: R.Gowans@uk.ac.MCC Internet: R.Gowans%MCC.ac.uk@cunyvm.cuny.edu Dept Civil Eng, EARN/BITNET: R.Gowans%MCC.ac.uk@UKACRL U.M.I.S.T, UUCP: ...!ukc!umist!R.Gowans Sackville Street, Manchester.
