Just to be as timid as possible, I didn't say "this is the Oropax
virus"; I said "this seems to match the description of the 'Oropax'
given in the MSDOSVIR.A89 document from Hamburg".  For all I know,
this is a brand-new virus, written by some unimaginative virus author
who heard the Oropax rumors, and decided it was a good idea!  *8)
