The 'Old' VDAT for DOS 1.0 intro:

"For years I've been reading .DOC .TXT and .ASC files about the virus and anti-virus scene. Those files are by now spread out across a lot of my diskettes and whenever I wanted to read something a second time I knew I had, I of course couldn't find it and ended up downloading it again. Finally I was sick and tired of it and came up with a solution. I combined everything in a hypertext format which I now keep on my hard drive. The initial release took me about a month and a half but hey, it's an improvement and I enjoyed doing it. Anyway, why keep it to myself? Here it is, use it if you want to, otherwise: trash it!"

     (In an attempt to keep the size of this database within certain (web friendly) limits I have started weeding out certain parts. These parts mainly contained duplicated or outdated information and the added value to the database was limited. I realize I might have deleted stuff that still has value to a certain audience but I refer those to older releases of VDAT. To keep people aware of the information that was there at a certain time I have greyed out the deleted references and I have added a reference to the last VDAT where the info can be found.)
