In an article Fred Fish stated that he would like a program that could detect
the virus in memory every now and then. This can be done with the current
version of VCheck. File of all use file zap and put a few control G's into
the line of Vcheck that tells you you have a virus. Put Vcheck and the Wait
statement in RAM:. Now create a batch file with the following lines.

  Failat 100

  Vcheck
  wait 30

  The Vcheck and Wait 30 lines should be repeated several hundred times int
in the batch file. This can be done easily with Txed or Microemacs. Now
execute this file in your startup sequence. If the virus is in memory the
screen will flash ever 30 seconds. This is a hack but it does work...saved
me many a time.
