  11. There has been aa lot of talk about OS/2 not being able to be infected
  12. from regular old DOS boot sector viruses using the HPFS. This is false
  13. since regular old STONED can infect both logical and physical parttions
  14. on OS/2 using HPFS.  Why wait for true OS/2 viruses when you can suffer
  15. from regular DOS viruses.
