You did not say where your organization obtained this program.  It
should be pointed out here that this file:

Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FORMGEN>
 Filename   Type Length   Date    Description
==============================================
SF171.ARC     B  113920  870718  Federal Employment Form generator

on SIMTEL20 is *not* infected.  I checked it with the latest version
of McAfee's SCANV.
