As I recall, one of the few virus checkers for Apple II I have seen cleans
festering hate. (?) I hope virus checkers for the Apple II continue to be
obscure- i.e. NOT NEEDED :) To refer back to Steve's earlier comments

something about the more complex they make the plumbing, the easier it is
to stop up the works. :)
