dEaR JoHN: I always wanted to write a Dear John letter :) anyway until I get some real documentation on this viru app This will have to do. At the logon enter "John Buchanan" with password "ARISTOTLE LIVES 666" the pAgE made me do that password . Anywho, remember - no matter where you are in the application, when in doubt "escape" out inkey(27) dude. It will always back you out. To Insert a record press the Insert key to delete a record press the delete key to edit a record type in what you are looking (V2P2 virus) type v2 and hit Enter this will take you to the record in the browse window. Then hit enter again and Ta Da the pAgE appears showing the entire data entry screen. At the browse window hit F10 and choose a new index and search criteria. In the viru database, search for a virus with code (assembler only) but first try pascal (AIDS virus) , when you are in the edit window hit the (F5 key).Go to V2P2 virii and do the same. This time, assuming you have TASM and TLINK - you know where I'm going don't you - OK shut up don't get ahead of me .. now you will create a virii.. Of course the source code remains encrypted. Now if you add source code to your virii database you can view it all day long and type it out in DOS...but....if you make ANY change to the file through the application and "ACCEPT" the change...Try viewing it in DOS after you leave. As you know I have personalized this app for now, if you can HACKiT let me know I don't think anyone can get past the security. Something everyone likes, privacy. Also I wish to distribute application to Sysops as a way to get to know people and trade virii. It's kind of like a greeting card.. Say BETA this for me and find any BUGS. I am working on about two bugs right now. You might not find them, I hope. Take Care! Silver Surfer with the PoWeR CoSMiC
