The "Good Times" virus is a hoax and an old one at that.
Viruses are carried by executable code, not text files. It may be possible
to create a Good Times like virus using the new macro features of Word 6.X
but I have not heard of anything like this on Mac's yet. Reading such
files with earlier versions of Word or text editors would not invoke the
disease.
Relax Michele.
