This was interesting. I did a compact and the virus checked said that

Dialog only for usenet. It does not surprise me that it was detected
on compact since the files are all copied and hence scanned.

I am surprised that the file was not detected by my virus checker when
downloaded by Dialog. Any thoughts on that? I'd hate to think Dialog
would let a virus slip in undetected??

Undetected? Since when did Dialog become a virus checker?

I think he mis-stated the last part of his question. Above he says:

downloaded by Dialog.

I think after that he meant to say:

I'd hate to think <my virus checker>
would let a virus slip in undetected??

Of course, this is Usenet, so who knows ;)
