[this note sent to the generic Internet address "amiga-relay"]

I just FTPed over to xanth and grabbed the AmigaUUCP files (two arc
files containing individually two WARP files. Contained in file 2
was a readme and an executable, warp, as well).

Well, I just did a "strings" command (UNIX machine) of the warp executable and
saw:

		.
		.
		.
	
	\ORm
	T@2-
	TON]NuSCA!SCA!
	Virus by Byte
	LSD!LSD!
	Byte Bandit
	                              %sWARP v1.2A:
	%s                   A floppy disk %stracker%s and %scompressor%s.%s
	                  ---------------------------------------%s
	READ
	Bad arguments for READ.
		.
		.
		.

Pardon, but I know little about Warp. Does it contain the above "SCA!..."
stuff on purpose (like for pattern matching)? I noticed that later on
it has a string that says something like "Sorry Bud, but this disk is
infected..." or something.

Anywho, I won't be dewarping those files til I get a good answer...

Thanks for any response.
