Yes that's what I was getting at. If someone releases such a plague, they can never be sure to what extent society is going to collapse, so it pays to have a cure that is already in widespread use, and thus readily available in case of emergency. They just wouldn't want everyone to know about it. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <mixent...@aussiebroadband.com.au>
