Oh thats good, just what we need. Hack a damn module binary to figure out what it is doing. Anybody have any real data on how this might be repaired? Makes me wonder if they are scanning the code segment of all loaded programs for that pattern or something evil to that extent. That would be basically like a heuristic virus scanner under dos? I guess the intel bug just made a whole lot of servers into dos machines. On Thu, 13 Nov 1997, john hood wrote: > Jerry Hicks writes: > > Richard M.
