11. Acknowledgments.

We would like to express our gratitude to the several people who
helped us with the analysis of InVircible and the writing of this
paper. These people we wish to thank publicly for their help; they
are not responsbile for the content of this paper. Some of them
have requested anonymity, so we have used pseudonyms instead of
their real names. We thank to

- Sarah Gordon for her suggestions regarding the English language
used in this paper;

- Bill Lambdin for the idea to use the Tremor.A and Trivial.30.A
viruses in our tests;

- Igor Muttik for helping us with the tests of some difficult to
replicate viruses like 3APA3A, StarShip, and Strange;

- Zvi Netiv for requesting to review a copy of this paper before
publication. After examining it for about a week, he failed to
find any technical mistakes in the paper (or at least did not
report any). However, he didn't like the paper and threatened to
sue us if we publish it. Since we strongly believe in the right of
freedom of expression, this threat made our determination to publish 
the paper even more strong, for which we thank him;

- Stephan Tode for helping us to determine the checksum algorithms
used by InVircible;

- "Fernando" for telling us about the "!@#" parameter;

- "GJ" for testing the "SeeThru" technique on EIDE disks.
