See below, yes, yes, yes, and no!!

The Virus Encyclopedia contains all I know about the operation and
propagation of all *known* Mac Viruses.  It also contains a
description of all the Virus Control software I have gotten my hands
on and a few of which I have only gotten descriptions of.  I have
tried to make it useful to both novices and experts alike.

Throwing modesty to the winds, it contains a brain dump of Dr. Virus
(the nickname my users' group gave me) about Mac Viruses.  I've
gotten a large number of compliments on both the stack itself (from
the HyperCard viewpoint) as well as its contents.

I try to keep it up to date as possible but of course I have to do
it in my "copius" free time.  I highly recommend that you get your
hands on a copy if you have any questions about mac viruses.

P.S. An update with the newest WDEF info will be out in the first
week of January.  Sorry but it has to wait until after my Carribean
Christmas vacation.
