SIMTEL20 is prohibited by the author from carrying VSUM. Patricia Hoffman blamed us for a problem caused by someone who downloaded her file from our collection. Since her virus summary list is copyrighted we must comply with her wishes, even though the file is available on almost any BBS and many other FTP sites. The file is available from risc.ua.edu [130.160.4.7] in the directory pub/ibm-antivirus.
