German headquartes. (Sounds just like on CNN - eh?) It is possible that his E-Mail or US Snail has some new virus information waiting his return. But only his postmaster knows for sure. I spoke with someone the other day about a new strain that reinfects on disk insertion vs warm starts, and as I type this message a copy of this new strain is speeding its way to our news desk. More news as it becomes available, and film at 11 - stay tuned... This is Dan Schein reporting from West Chester for the CBM news. -- Dan Schein uucp: {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!schein Commodore AMIGA ARPANET: cbmvax!schein@uunet.uu.net 1200 Wilson Drive Bix: dschein Plink: Dan*CATS West Chester PA 19380 phone: (215) 431-9100 ext. 9542 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All spelling mistakes are a result of my efforts to avoid education :-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I help Commodore by supporting the AMIGA.
