Sounds to me like DRAIN.  Drain is an old program that has been
floating around for about 6 years.  It is not a TSR.  It puts an A:>
prompt on the screen and looks just like you were logged onto drive A.
If you do anything at all, it starts up, gives a message about how you
have water in your drive, stand by, then proceeds to spin the disk
furiously, all the while doing a very good imitation of a washing
machine going into spin cycle.  Then it slows down, and emits an
extremely good imitation of water going down the drain.  No havoc at
all, just a joke.  This sounds like a modification of it.

Cheers
Woody
