We are considering adopting '386 Unix in the lab, but I'm curious
about something.  Are the DOS under Unix implementations immune to the
usual PC viruses?  If so, how (in a nutshell)?  If not, is the Unix
filesystem safe at least?  I suppose most readers already know the
answer(s), so just e-mail...
