  Is flash.exe at cica, (currently in the uploads directory)

  PCTOOLS shows up nothing wrong - it could just have been that I was
  pushing my disk too hard, running scan (what else!) in a DOS windows
  at the same time as a Windows based find utility.


There has been a rumor that FLASH.EXE causes UAEs (Unrecoverable
Application Errors).  It seems that someone posted it as a joke.

The file has been removed from cica.
