-
- The oddity about the Dukakis Virus is that its code is 100% pure
- HyperTalk, and contaminates only HyperCard stacks. During the
- contamination, it displays "Dukakis for president" in the
- Message window. The original "syringue" stack appeared originally on
- CompuServe (SPEAKS.SIT) and was downloaded 8 times only before it was removed,
- but the full source has been shown and discussed on Delphi.
-
- The following vaccine script will protect your stacks from being
- contaminated with the "set script" trick used by the Dukakis Virus.
- Just paste it into your Home Stack.
