     Comments     : The CODER-virus is a very simple one.  To stay resident in
                    memory the virus uses the KICK vectors. For Infection  the
                    virus uses the DoIO() vector from the exec.library.

     Removal      : Kickstart 1.2 & 1.3 : VT-Schutz v3.17
                    Kickstart all others: VirusZ III with Xvs.library installed
