This would be good - something I've wanted for a while is a DOS emulator instead of just a PC emulator. It could then be extended to check for "bad" disk access and TSR activity, making it not only a good virus-immune system but one that would spot infected programs (even new viruses) before being introduced to organisations. Tis would make it very popular (with everyone except the virus writers). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Aitchison, Physics & Astronomy \_ Phone : +64 3 3642-947 a.h. 3371-225 University of Canterbury, (/' Home: TheOne AT ihug DOT co DOT nz -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
