Can someone please email the latest copy of Disenfectant so I can try to kill this thing? Hmm... Did you recently upgrade to System 6.0.7 and don't use MultiFinder? (DRVR,2) is the printer driver and for some reason the 6.0.7/Finder was changed so each application calls Map against it. Relax, no virus. There is a new version of GateKeeper's Aid which fixes GateKeeper so you don't have to look at this message... (Credit is due to Chris Johnson (GateKeeper's author) who explained this problem to me back in October when I installed my Mother's Classic). -- Alexander Erskine Wise /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Software Development Laboratory /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ WISE@CS.UMASS.EDU /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\ This situation calls for large amounts of unadulterated CHOCOLATE! /\/\/\
