mak377b.zip and txi312b.zip were released, respectively, in August and
September 1998. I have just scanned them with the latest McAfee DOS
virus scanner, and saw no messages. The data files are from November
1998, (which is old, but still months *after* the binaries were made).
So I think this is a false alarm. If somebody has a way to communicate
with the vendor of the above antivirus software, I can send them
instructions to install DJGPP and generate a DJGPP program on a clean
machine, so that they could then analyze the problem.
