     Comments     : If  you  are  booting  with an A.H.C. infeced disk the
                    virus copies itself (always) to the same  chip-address
                    $7FA00. Then it sets the CoolCapture to the virusvalue
                    to stay resident.


                    Furthermore  the  virus  patches  the DoIO()-Vector to
                    infect  other  disks.  The virus gives out messages if
                    you  are  booting  with  another  disk.  Here are some
                    examples:


                    Click  on  this  gadget to see a @{" Demo 1 " SYSTEM V-IFF:AHC1} of the A.H.C
                    virus. Push left mouse button to return.

                    Click  on  this  gadget to see a @{" Demo 2 " SYSTEM V-IFF:AHC2} of the A.H.C
                    virus. Push left mouse button to return.


              NOTE: This virus was made with the help of the 
                    Sherlock-AntiVirus-Boot. Just some Routines were
                    changed and the typical Sherlock-Texts were changed
                    into that damn Virusalerttexts. Very likely a work
                    of a LAMER or someone who can`t code good at all.
