- I enjoy getting mail, especially electronic mail, and I invite your
-
- correspondence. If you send me a letter through the regular mail, please
-
- include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you expect a reply.
-
-
- Please do not try to call me. I do not have the time to do free consulting
-
- over the phone and I cannot return long distance phone calls from people I
-
- do not know.
-
-
- If you think that you might have a new virus which Disinfectant does not
-
- detect, please read the section in this manual titled “Problem Clinic.”
-
- Follow the advice contained in that section before asking me for
-
- assistance.

-
- This international group of Macintosh virus experts, programmers and
-
- enthusiasts helped design and test Disinfectant, edit the manual, locate
-
- copies of the viruses for testing, and analyze the viruses. I wrote all the
-
- code, but I could not have written the application without their help.
-
-
- Disinfectant is an example of cooperative software development over the
-
- Internet. I send development and beta releases and technical design notes
-
- to the working group and they reply with error reports, suggestions, etc.
-
- This involves the exchange of many thousands of electronic mail
-
- messages. The result is an application which is much better than any one
-
- of us could have produced individually.
-
-
- Since the initial release of Disinfectant, many hundreds of people have
-
- supplied error reports, comments, and suggestions for features. The
-
- application has in many ways become a community project. The author
-
- thanks everybody who has contributed.
-
-
- Thanks also to Paul Mercer, Darin Adler, Paul Snively, Frédéric Miserey
-
- and Steve Capps for ShowINIT, and to François Grieu for his SafeStart
-
- code.
-
-
- Last but not least, the author thanks his many good friends at Apple
-
- Computer for their advice, encouragement, and assistance, and for
-
- continuing to produce the very finest personal computers and system
-
- software.
