Message-ID: <495@psu-cs.UUCP> Date: 15 Feb 88 02:12:52 GMT Reply-To: alexc@psu-cs.UUCP (Alex M. Chan.) Distribution: na Organization: Dept. of Computer Science, Portland State University; Portland OR Lines: 33 Hello, Since that there is a few VIRUS programs being posted on the net and they all would do damages to you work. I would suggested that in the futher if anyone wanted to post any programs on the net, only post the the SOURCE code and all the necessary infomation to compile the programs. Instead of just execuatables. If those programers who do not want to give out source codes, just leave the US-mailing addresses and people could send in disks for the source or ... ( you could charge a small fee for your code, if that is the way you wanted.. ). This way, VIRUS PROGRAMS could be detected before it would done the damage. ( You are in control of compiling the code, and you should have a good understanding of the code before you try to compile and run teh program. I hope that those people who have been proven guilty of posting VIRUS PROGRAMS be banned from using the net. ( the jobs of the group mod. and sys admin of the according systems.. ) Thank you for your attension... Sincerely, Alex M.
