[h-e-w] Re: Emacs 21.1 released - MS Windows distribution availab le

[Raymond Zeitler]

I just scanned all the em211_BL?.zip and em211_L6.zip files and did not
receive any indication that a virus is present.  The virus scanner I used is
Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition, version 7.50.846, scan engine version
4.1.0.6.  The virus definition file version and data are 31101c and 11/1/01.

I downloaded this to give a shot (thank's Andrew) and when I
used WinZip on it I recieved this virus warning:

  The file e:\emacs\emacs-21.1\bin\emacs.exe is infected with
  W95/Coke.22231 Virus.  Unable to clean the file using the current Scan
  engine version 4.0.50 DAT version 4.0.4168.(from ABSOLUT IP
  10.129.101.19 user BRILLIANT\howard running NetShield 2000 4.5 OAS)

I vaguely remember something about a bogus virus warning
with some version of Emacs some time ago, is this that?  Or
could this binary be infected?  My virus datafile is
up-to-date but my virus checker is a bit old and certainly a
bit flakey.  Has anyone else seen this?
