============================================================================
== xvs.library - The eXternal Virus Support Library ==
== Copyright © 1997,1998 by Georg Hörmann ==
============================================================================
This library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that was
formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason:
VirusZ can be updated fast without releasing the whole package every week by
simply releasing a new library version.
In the future, I may release the full documentation (autodocs, includes,
etc.), but I'm still not sure about that. Although the library has been
protected against unauthorized modifications quite well, it's still too
dangerous for me to tell everyone in the world how it works. There are far
too many idiots around who have too much spare time and too destructive
ideas.
So simply install the library in this archive to your LIBS: drawer to get
100% protection against the latest viruses.
For bug reports, ideas etc. you can reach me at the following addresses:
