I have noticed that alot of mail systems do not accept attachments or is seeing the the attachement i sent as a virus, my apologies to you all, i purposely did not send the virus its self, but only the content of the web page, which does not directly contain the virus. The file that was sent was named purposely 'script' so that it could not be accidentally executed. If you curiosity gets the best of you , the file should be viewed in notepad or vi, which i am sure the majority of you realize. I have put the original message of my email on a web page http://www.ircore.com/virus/index.htm and you can download the gzipped file from there, if you want it, it is at the bottom of the page. The virus can not be executed from this web page being it is in a gzipped tar ball. Again my apologize to the list Opus -- .~. /V\ /( )\ ^^-^^
