I just got an e-mail, supposedly from James Newton, and supposedly sent through Lingo-L. I suspect it is a fraud, and I would strongly advise that you not open the attachment until it has been validated.
I don't know if this is a fake or not, but (1) it was sent to an old e-mail address, different from the one I use for Lingo-L, (2) the return address was not, to my knowledge, an address that James uses, and (3) it had an attachment, and I doubt that James would send an attachment. I would advise any of you who receive this email titled "Re: <lingo-l> bouncingsprite" to _not_ open the attachment until we have determined if it actually came from James. I'm copying him, and Tab, so they can investigate and/or follow up. If this is a fraud, it's a crying shame, because James has been, for years, one of the most helpful members of the list, and he is one of the top developers out there, anywhere. Shame on anybody who is trying to use his reputation to spread a virus. And my apologies, of course, if it is really from James. Cordially, Kerry Thompson [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
