     Comments     : The  virus  uses the coolcapture and the kick vectores
                    to stay resident in memory.

                    The  Gadaffi  virus has a counter which after the 7.th
                    reset  abuses the drive engine  through  stepping, and
                    this can scratch the diskette  so it is then unusable.
                    Some generates some noice on the speakers,- this is
                    much  more  like  the  behavior  of  Byte Bandit,  but
                    mostly it steps the drive  because of wrong access  to
                    trackdisk.device  by inserting  another disk in drive.
