hmm...l think that's my program...oops.  well anyway l at least put a warning
screen at the beginning that alerts the user.
The intent of the program is not to destroy calculators per se but to prove
that it can be done, especially by someone else without your knowledge.  This
makes having a sort of program that will scan for this type of virus is kinda
important.  Perhaps if the program would scan for the  Archive(  commmand then
that may be sufficient.
