Someone asked me in a panic whether my reference earlier to doing a virus
check on the EduCALC Goodies Disks implies that there was a virus on disk
#1.

No, there was no virus on #1, and there will be none on ANY of the
EduCALC Goodies Disks.  The "Jerusalem B" virus struk my computer while
collecting #1, and it was discovered and wiped out by Virex PC before the
disk went to EduCALC for mass production (but not before some damage to
files had occurred).

So now I just do a virus scan and file compare before final production,
and you can all know that the goodies are safe for hard disk use.

(Speaking of which, Goodies Disk #3 goes to EduCALC tomorrow!)
