I know that a month or so ago someone on this list said that an Atari
8-bit virus would be difficult to write, but I just read in the latest
issue of Atari Explorer that one exists.  Unfortunately, the article
didn't go into much detail.  I don't remember who the author of the
article was, and I don't have the magazine handy.  Does anyone know
anything about this virus?  I haven't had time to check CompuServe yet,
and I haven't found anything on Virus-L@LehiIBM1 (though they seem to be
mostly into Macs and IBMs, and I've been away for a month and haven't
had time to pick up quite all the archives yet).
