It's NOT a virus (sounds like Arnie in "Kindergarten Cop"!!! :-))

The GPLEA people stated something about this anomaly just after Snett was
released.

Virus scanners pattern-match files for recognizable sequences of byte
values. Apparently this file contains a sequence of byte values that
triggers this warning. As this isn't an executable file you should
have no concerns about the warning.

I would think that any decent virus scanner would have an option to
add such a file to a list of files to ignore as this sort of thing can
happen.

I recommend someone (only ONE) tells the people who make the scanner
about it, because it *might* be something wrong with their scanner...

I can assure you we haven't been adding virus code to graphics!

Cheers,

Of course not, but you have to recognize that the two most powerful
causalities are accident and error. <g> Just by sheer coincidence one
of the files caused a sloppy virus scanner to have a hissy...
