This program was created by request for HyperCard users that are
frustrated with the merryxmas virus. 
MerryxmasWatcher1.0 is a user friendly stack that does the following:
 
a)  Erradicates the virus from your Home stack
b)  Innoculates your Home stack against further infection
c)  Watches for possible infected stacks and gives you options
    to take care of the virus if it passes by your way.

You have my permission to include this archive in your commericially

Program Description:
This program was created by request for HyperCard users that are
frustrated with the merryxmas virus.  Since my naming of the virus in 
the spring of 1993 a variety of people have created stacks to
erradicate it.  MerryxmasWatcher1.0 is a very comprehensive,
user friendly stack that does the following...

a)  Erradicates the virus from your Home stack
b)  Innoculates your Home stack against further infection
c)  Watches for possible infected stacks and gives you options
     to take care of the virus if one passes by your way.

The theme of merryxmasWatcher1.0 follows that of Gatekeeper.  It is
designed to notify you if there is a problem, and then take care of it.
This function should be extremely helpful for labs and individuals that
experience a large number of new files weekly.  It is my hope that the
watcher will be widely distributed and used in an effort to erradicate
the virus once an for all.

SAM will stop the use of any stack similar to the merryxmasvirus.  It can't
detect the difference between the actual merryxmas virus and the innoculation 
at this time.  SAM users will not be able to use the innoculation script, nor
merryxmasWatcher.  The response from SAM scanning will be that your
disk is infected - which may or may not be true.  Hopefully SAM will
correct this problem in the near future - but probably not since they didn't return
my phone call regarding search strings to correct the problem.
 
This stack is FREE.  Please do not redistribute modified versions of this stack.
Feel free to modify the watcher script on your own HyperCard Home stack to
better meet your needs.  I've included a lot of messages, instructions, and
backing out steps for new users that could easily be deleted.  Just make sure
that the original stack, with the correct credits, is what is distributed.

Finally, I take no responsibility for any problems, errors, fatal crashes, or
any other type of ill effect that might result as part of this program.  I'm 
trying to provide you with a quality piece of programming to enhance the
world by erradicating viruses and don't want to be sued for it.  
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

So far I am not aware of any problems or bugs with merryxmasWatcher1.0.  
Feel free to send bug reports, comments, or money(psych) to...
