(The virus was described before.) It was reported to us at our information stand at the CeBit 1991 by a firm from Darmstadt. It is fairly stupid, or so it seems, as it doesn't even maintain a minimal boot record. It therefore creates all sorts of wierd mistakes and causes floppy disks to become unusable. Cheers, Morton
