Subject: Re: Securax Security Advisory: Windows98 contains a serious buffer overflow with long filenameextensions.

I found that 98Lite (*) is not vulnerable to this, but my Eudora app was
rendered inaccessible when Zoa_Chien e-mailed me an example. I had to
delete his message from my Eudora spool directory before I was able to load
Eudora again.

(*) 98Lite is a modified Win98. It is a full 98 system without IE, Outlook,
and some other MS Internet "features". Contrary to MS lies, this
configuration benefits consumers with increased system performance,
security and robustness of the OS. More info can be found at
http://www.98lite.net Chances are if you install 98 with this
configuration, you will never let IE degrade your system again.
