mak377b.zip and txi312b.zip were released, respectively, in August and 
September 1998.  I have just scanned them with the latest McAfee DOS 
virus scanner, and saw no messages.  The data files are from November 
1998, (which is old, but still months *after* the binaries were made).

So I think this is a false alarm.  If somebody has a way to communicate 
with the vendor of the above antivirus software, I can send them 
instructions to install DJGPP and generate a DJGPP program on a clean 
machine, so that they could then analyze the problem.
