A PC virus, delete it!

Normally Windows users will only be able to see the first extension so the
file shows as filename.zip (zip archive) but it's actually a PIF that
performs text-based (command-line) functions. Unless of course you're
running Opus6 on the PC in which case it shows up as it should.
