     Info         : Differences to Burn 1:
                    A different time routine, but still the pure destroying-
                    code will be activated at 7.Feb 1994. A little bit changed
                    cryptroutine for the formatlw "BURN". Some changes in the
                    infection(spread rutine. Due to  a  strong  bug  in  the
                    cryptroutine for the longword "BURN", this word  will  be
                    never created(Thanks must go  to  Ingo  Schmidt  for  this
                    hint:You really not needed to trash a SYQUEST to test it).

                    Burn 1 did not spread ! Burn 2 can be easily spread.

                    Many mistakes in the code (hunks!). VirusWorkshop can fix
                    (hopefully) all bugs made by this virus. It corrects the
                    HUNK RELOC32. Make a copy before repairing this file !
                    
                    Many links are possible. I have stopped counting at 20
                    links
