    Has anyone out there virus-scanned any DJGPP/Allegro programs and got a
"Cold3927" virus warning?

    I've tried a bunch of scanners on my home PC (NAV, PC-cillin,
InoculateIT, and AntiViral Toolkit) which say everything is clean. I copied
two different programs I've written using DJGPP and Allegro to an unused
disk to test them out on a PC at work. The work PC, which uses Cheyenne,
claims that they're infected with Cold3927 and can't clean them. Any program
I've written that uses Allegro and DJGPP seem to trigger it.

    Has anyone else had similar experiences?
