The afforementioned hypercard virus was similar in concept to a Word macro virus, but it found a way to hook itself into the startup scripts for a given hypercard stack. I was thinking about how these virus writers don't even have to figure out crafty ways of making the virus run itself -- they just have to wait for the user to do it for them. :-( -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures. My key was last signed 10/14/2003. If you use GPG *please* see me about signing the key. ***** My computer can't give you viruses by email. ***
