	Perhaps, this way some sort of cruel April fools' joke on
Tim Parker's part.  It is difficult to believe that anyone that has
even minimal knowledge of what a Trojan Horse program is has not
heard of notroj's infamous reputation.

	The one person I know who had problems with notroj stopped
it cold before it did its dirty work, as it began to complain about
relatively inocuous items such as lotus 1-2-3 that had been on the
disk for quite some time.
