Discussions are not limited to any one hardware/software platform - diversity is welcomed. Contributions should be relevant, concise, polite, etc. Please sign submissions with your real name. Send contributions to VIRUS-L@IBM1.CC.LEHIGH.EDU (that's equivalent to LEHIIBM1.BITNET for BITNET folks). Information on accessing anti-virus, documentation, and back-issue archives is distributed periodically on the list. Administrative mail (comments, suggestions, and so forth) should be sent to me at: krvw@SEI.CMU.EDU.

With the generous cooperation of many sites throughout the world, we are attempting to make available to all the most recent news and programs for dealing with the virus problem. Currently we have sites for Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, IBMPC, Macintosh and Unix computers, as well as sites carrying research papers and reports of general interest. If you have general questions regarding the archives, you can send them to this list or to me. I'll do my best to help. If you have a submission for the archives, you can send it to me or to one of the persons in charge of the relevant sites. If you have any corrections to the lists, please let me know. The files contained on the participating archive sites are provided freely on an as-is basis. To the best of our knowledge, all files contained in the archives are either Public Domain, Freely Redistributable, or Shareware. If you know of one that is not, please drop us a line and let us know. Reports of corrupt files are also welcome. PLEASE NOTE The Managers of these systems, and the Maintainers of the archives, CAN NOT and DO NOT guarantee any of these applications for any purpose. All possible precautions have been taken to assure you of a safe repository of useful tools. A side note... This will be my last archive site list sent out from Iowa State University. In about a week I will be moving to Hawaii to take up a new job. I'd like to thank ISU's Computer Science Department for allowing me to use their facilities in setting up comp.virus and the anti-viral archives. I hope to have access to the net from my new job. See you in a month! Jim Wright jwright@cs.iastate.edu [Ed. Good luck on the new job, Jim! Your efforts here have always been greatly appreciated by many! Give my regards to Maui and Kauai. Until Jim is back on-line, if anyone has administrative changes to make to the archive sites, please contact me, and I'll update this list.] ------------------------------ Date: 04 Mar 90 20:04:14 +0000 From: jwright@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu (Jim Wright) Subject: Amiga anti-viral archive sites # Anti-viral archive sites for the Amiga # Listing last changed 30 September 1989 cs.hw.ac.uk Dave Ferbrache NIFTP from JANET sites, login as "guest".
