     Comments     : The Mutilator Virus only works on a few systems.
                    As you can see above the virus needs Kickstart 1.3
                    and a special (FAST)Ram called `Ranger Ram`.
                    People who are booting with an infected disk and
                    who can`t afford the above mentioned conditions will
                    see a GURU ! But if you have such a Ram + Kickstart
                    the virus will do the following:

                   1) The virus copies itself at $7FAD0 and changes the
                      coolcapture-vector to stay resident.
   
                    After the next reset the virus patches the DoIO() &
                    the Supervisor()-Vector.

                    The DoIO()-Patch is used to infect other disks.
                    Every time when the Supervisor()-Vector is used by
                    the system, the virus increases a value by 1. If
                    this value reaches 224 (and an other 160) the virus
                    executes an GFX-Routine with an endless-loop. But
                    this routine has an programming-error (Color-Initial
                    Routine is the last S..t!), so you will get an black
                    screen.

                    After 3 infects the virus gives out an alert:

                         "THIS IS THE NEW MUTILATOR VIRUS !"
                               "BY MAX OF STARLIGHT!"

                    This text is crypted, you CAN'T read it in the BB.

                    There is another crypted text in the BB which says
                    after decryption:

    "Thanx to The Executors for Spreading this GREAT code ! done: -1992-"

    NOTE FROM ALEX: Sorry Max, I must laugh now. This piece of shit is
                    just lame coded. (You`re very likely a Lamer, too.)
