I can send you I nice example of the newest virus (could be crippled
because of my old mail-program), it automaticaly runs in Outlook
(x-sound=readme.exe), the name of the file is "readme" if you have disabled
extensions (which is the standard option for Windows). The subject-line is
tremendous big and looks like a register-string, it should probably
overflow and execute the readme.exe ("ware\Microsoft\Windo,b4
;desktopdesktopdesktopsamplesampledesktopsamplesampledesktopsampledesktopde
sktopsampledesktopdesktopsampledesktopsamplesampledesktopdesktopdesktopsampl
esampledesktopdesktopdesktopdesktopdesktopdesktopdesktopsampledesktopdesktop
demx1.dds.nl.sample")

And as far as I've heard it also sends itself out 'Code Red' styled.

Cygwin itself is 35 mb, still haven't found it in any magazine cover-CD....

And I don't really hate console-readers, but...

In a year or so I think I'm at the "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam", plus the
students copy is much cheaper, and it's used to teach students how to make
compilers and the such. So I think I can get my hands on it :-)

What did you mean then with "how to handle ROM call stuff" (or something)?

Ender's Game? What's it about? (and which writer?)
