I have recently received various replies that my recent Tempest.tem problem, which turned out not to be a virus, was in fact the result of fried FATs. I have been using a DOS prog, Laplink 5, to move files around internally in my Win95b computer. Could this be a cause of FAT problems? thanks, Michael Beechey, a Canuck in Sucre, Bolivia ----------------------------------------------------------------- "The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens" Baha'u'llah -----------------------------------------------------------------
