Can anyone confirm our experience with TOPS version 2.1 and Vaccine?  A
call to TOPS tech support says that there is apparently a conflict
between the two which slowly, at random, causes damage to system and
TOPS resources.  TOPS 2.0 is apparently not a problem.  Our problem
occurred with Vaccine 1.0.1.  Can anyone tell if it occurs with Vaccine
1.0?  

We are running System 6.0.2/Finder 6.1.  (For the novice, TOPS is an
excellent local area networking package, giving distributed file and
printer sharing between Macs, MS-DOS machines, and Sun workstations.
"Distributed" means that any machine, not just a dedicated one can be 
a server, unlike Appleshare.  Vaccine is an anti-viral utility, which 
is in the public domain.)
