However, because GO.COM was empty, but still a valid program file as far as CP/M was concerned (it had a directory entry and file-name ending with .com), the CP/M loader, the part of the OS whose job it is to pull programs off disk and slap them into the TPA, would still load it!" Wow. i like to think that wouldn't be possible today. But, who knows... it's potentially possible to encode a whole virus in a long filename of an empty file, sharing the same hash as all other empty files. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
