Message-ID: 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
