[If you can read this your line eater

   Heres a little tip(?) that might help fight off this new Euro-Virus if
   you have a hard drive!

   Make a partition on your hard drive under FFS (FastFileSystem) for
   *ONLY* your workbench and Extras disk. Then using the 1.3 "LOCK" cmd,
   lock out the entire partition. If this new virus is going to go after
   things like the C: directory, why not lock your C: directory?!?  Oh,
   just in case a new version tries to "UnLOCK" your hard drive, use the
   password feature.

   It may not stop the virus, but it sure can make it a bit harder ;-)

   PS:
      Make the "LOCK" command 3rd in your startup-sequence, right after
	  setpatch and binddrivers.
