Nope.  That is a legitimate windose virus.

Hmmm, I think the int 21 handler misses a carriage return here.  I guess
I should see if I can find the spec on it and try to make it better.

I had to use the ascii binary dos uudecode.com

SPECIAL NOTE:  For DOS users, there is an EXECUTABLE ASCII version of
the UUDECODE.COM program available.  This is a rare exception to the
rule that executable files must be encoded to survive email
transmission.  You can receive it via email and execute it "as is".   To
get a copy, send email

  To: gboyd at expita.com
  Subject: send uudecode.com  (must be lowercase).

Unix uudecode extraced an empty file, and wincode choked.  Hmmm, if I
todos the file, unix uudecode works.  Probably wincode would too but I
have done enough GUI for 1 day.
