Not _quite_ true, John. The VIREX "Record/Scan" operation has been scanning for WDEFs et all since it was added. The problem is that it takes longer than a normal scan, so most VIREX users don't bother with it. A Pity. It and the 1st Aid tool are really good at pointing out wierdnesses. - -- Robert J Woodhead, Biar Games, Inc. !uunet!biar!trebor | trebor@biar.UUCP Announcing TEMPORAL EXPRESS.
