I guess the appended overlay and the loading routines for a exefile and relocation fixing will cause the alert. Another thing the virus scanner can bug on is UPX, the compressor used.

Just to say all you guys here on the list, i don't have a virus, i also used NAV and tbav for scanning. So all the fpc files don't have a virus because i packed them myself.

You are sure it is Cliff? I downloaded the package he was using to try it and it does report a virus in some but not all of the files. The files that it does report the problem were all built on exactly the same day or copied from the same source on the same day. All but 4 of the files with dates 5/3/99 report the virus. The clean ones were gdbw.exe, date.exe, echo.exe, and pwd.exe. The rest for that date report the problem. -- ==== Programming my first best destiny! ==== Michael A.

Baeseman, Cliff

That is the only scanner that is reporting it. Norton is not finding anything neither is Macafee.

My guess is that it is a false signal fired by that particular scanner. Those are GNU win32
ported apps and it probably just does not like some binary signature in them.
