Please advise Jim Msg 41357 is 19 line(s) on 02/14/89 from BILL WOLFF to BOB SULLIVAN re: R/VIRUS PROBLEM SOLVED? While you say that with a interrupt vector, a virus may hide itself within a Commodore. This is true in theory. And the fact that Commodore leaves itself open to just about any modification would even make this task sound even easier. It's also a plus for programmers too. But being a programer and a user of Commodore computers for many years the truth is that about 95 percent of programs always modify that vector and would stop the virus dead. Just keeping a ML program safe when loading another unknown program usually kills the hidden program ML program. This makes it tough to even come up with a RAMDOS utility (a modified DOS for RAMDISK) to work with other unknown programs. Most Commodore programs modify the operating system for it's own needs. I am always patching programs just to leave other programs alone. What a mess! But on the other side, GEOS (graphic environment operating system) for the Commodore gives a MAC like environment that does the exact opposite. It's geared to work with other programs in memory and will be ideal for a virus to come it's way. Fortunately I have not heard of one yet. I guess it would be just a matter of time though! I enjoyed your comment very much. I like being shown things I did not think of, because I always learn! Msg 41358 is 12 line(s) on 02/15/89 from BILL MATTSON to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/TIME/TASK MGMT? Suggest you consider the hyperbola as model for your 'trigger' on the 31st day of the monthur message indicates you are looking at an exponential curve. The hyperbola can yield a much 'sharper knee' and steeper rise of the curve {oward the awE&SAbXo LOTS OF NOISE Ttoward the asymptote (which is what want). The equation you want is this: (x-h)(y-k)=(-a2/2) read 'a2' as a squared. The center of the hyperbola is at h,k and the asymptotes are parallel to the x- and y-axes. Run a few plots of this to model it to your needs, and I think you will get better results. Note that you are only interested in half of the hyperbola. Let me know if this is any help. Regards.

Good point, if the vector is the only vulnerable point of entry then it sure would be easy to double check it. I haven't used Commodores for about six years and obviously was speaking about ancient programs. Yeah ROMS do provide good protection. How about battery backed RAMS which need an external switch for reprogramming, thus a virus couldn't sneak in without permission. At the same time you could reprogram the OS when needed. Not foolproof but it could provide some extra protection in certain situations. Msg 41362 is 03 line(s) on 02/15/89 from BOB SULLIVAN to JIM FLANAGAN re: R/BAD MEMORY Yes, I am still interested.
