I always knew that CP/M was not immune, but I really see no way to make
a virus general enough to infect *every* CP/M system. For example, the
boot drive on my DECmate is drive E:, not A:, and most of CP/M is stored
in a file. So you couldn't infect my system by just scribbling all over
track 0 of drive A:.
