Does anyone know a single search string that will catch every known nVIR
clone?  The version that Penn State uses has one for each particular renaming,
plus some generic-looking ones, and consequently the scan time is atrocious.

Similarly for Scores:  what are the minimum number of search strings for
various portions of the Scores manifestation required to guarantee finding
a virulent infection?

Replies by e-mail, please; I'll post a summary if interest warrants.

Thanks a lot!
