[Radiance-general] faked zip files

[Peter Apian-Bennewitz]

Hi all,

completely off topic:

The recently sent "password-protected" zip files were generated by a 
virus on PCs of subscribed members out there. Not recommended to be 
opened under Windows:

merkur $ zipinfo Readme.zip
Archive:  Readme.zip   46503 bytes   1 file
-rwxa--     2.0 fat    44543 T- defN 17-Mar-04 14:02 alarho.exe
1 file, 44543 bytes uncompressed, 46373 bytes compressed:  -4.1%

So zip files are now declared illegal too on the mail transport level. 
Folks wishing to sent (small) examples via the list are advised to use 
UNIX tar files, or, much better, put them on a web server somewhere and 
sent the link.

cheers
Peter
