LUGS,

 
I'm not sure that the statement that you can only get a virus in an
executable file is still true.  Seems that I read several months ago that
it was feared that someone had developed a virus that would be carried in
a text file.  I was mentioning this to a friend of mine who said that his
daughter who lived in California would no longer send him e-mail messages
and they had a text virus invade their computers at work.

Anyone know anthing about this possible development.  The article I read,
I believe, was in PC World.
