Jim, you really should confirm a rumor like this before posting a message
on it. What kind of proof do you have that there's a virus or trojan horse
in "Doc"? "Doc" is widely available, and I've heard no reports of problems
with it. I have it, I've run it several times, it does nothing to your
hardware, it does not write to any disks (even if they're left
un-write-protected) when run, the disk with "Doc" on it is exactly the same
after as before running (you do have to reboot to get out of the demo
though), etc. What exactly are you claiming "Doc" will do to a disk or to
your hardware? I've had no problems with it at all. It's very similar to
many other European demos available, only its better. -Joel
