Mr DJ Delorie:

I was reading some of the email from the DJGPP newsgroup and I 
encoutered that made me glad and nevous at the same time.

There was another user concerned about certain files in DJGPP infect 
with a virus.  In your reply you said that if files where downloaded 
from SIMTEl mirrors then they would be fine.  Unfortunately, I 
download my copy from x2ftp.oulu.fi, which is exactly where you 
mentioned the infection might could come from.  At least now I know 
that my computer might be infected but then the headache is to rid my 
system of it.  I've been running the binaries for a few days already 
so I don't know if my system is badly infect or not.  I hope 
not!!?????

Do you know what virus or what it can do? Is the rumor just a rumor 
or is it truer than I'd like it to be?
If this is really true, please let me know.  I already sent an e-mail 
to the x2ftp.oulu.fi people, but since I got the news from you first, 
maybe you might know some more that you could tell me before
I get any response from x2ftp.oulu.fi

Thank you for your time.....
Tom..........Thomas
