Viruses?  On CP/M-80 disks?  When Don and I were exchanging samples, I
was unaware of such stuff.

Someone want to enlighten me on Z80/8080 viruses on CP/M floppies?

(FWIW, I do differentiate "virus" from "malware")

Since I'm in Oregon, I'd be happy to extract the files from your images,
if you can get them to image form.   My recollection was that back in
1986, when I wrote 22Disk, O1 floppies were among the first samples I
received (after A1 format, anyway.
