[texhax] virus detected on TeX Collection 2005 DVD

[Philip TAYLOR]

Interesting.  I don't have this file installed, but the
copy at

	http://193.195.63.6/sites/tug.ctan.org/CTAN/macros/generic/cptex/tex8.bat

seems clean.  Are you able to send a copy of your allegedly
infected file ?  Being a BAT file, it should be easy enough
to determine if it's infected by inspection ...
