Dear VIRUS-L readers,
        I can't claim to be a virus expert, but I am trying to learn
as much as possible about virus action and prevention. As the only
faculty member at Hampshire College who teaches assembly language
programming and computer architecture I am the best candidate to
become a local semi-expert.
        I am currently planning a presentation for faculty, staff, and
students on the virus problem. I will concentrate on techniques to
prevent virus infection and to recognize and to recover if prevention
fails, but I will also, as time allows, say a little about the history
of the problem and the mechanisms of PC viruses with which I am
familiar.
        In the interest of avoiding duplication of effort I would be
grateful if any readers of VIRUS-L could send me any materials they
may have prepared for similar presentations, or pointers to available
documents that they feel should be collected for a local reference
collection on the subject.
        I will prepare some materials myself to hand out to those
present, and I will be happy to share these, and anything I receive
from others, with any VIRUS-L readers who want them.

Thank you,
Albert S. Woodhull      awoodhull@hampvms.bitnet
