Subject: Virus on cp/m, it exists, but no hazard

I've heard of that cp/m virus too.  Even to reading the Email from the
person who did it, just to see if it was possible.  Unlike others, this
fellow was ethical enough to keep his virus in a "test tube", and not
release it.  Many Thanks, whoever you are!!!!  His rationale for writing
the virus was to gain experience with programming, not to blow others
out of the water...

My Dec VT180 "Robin" is alive and well doing word processing for poor
college students..  Heard they were standing in line to use it..
