CERT (the Computer Emergency Response Team of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) has documented several instances where GIF, JPEG, BMP, and PNG image files were themselves malware. Go to <http://www.us-cert.gov/> and search on "JPEG OR GIF OR PNG OR BMP" (without the quote marks) in the search box in the upper-right corner. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>. Anyone who thinks government owns a monopoly on inefficient, obstructive bureaucracy has obviously never worked for a large corporation. © 1997 by David E.
