Might I add to this story of cold-virus (aaahtju!;-) that almost all programs compiled with djgpp are reported by the latest Inoculan update to contain the cold3927 virus, not only those shipped with the distribution. So it must be Inoculan's fault.

It would probably be a good idea if someone (else than me, my ISP's webserver is down for the time being) sent CAI a report.

Have a nice evening!
