  1.                            LAMBDIN'S ACCURACY TESTS
  2.  
  3.          BBS  SysOps  may  feel  free  to delete the older versions of
  4.          LAT-????.ZIP  when  they receive the new file because I will
  5.          be appending the old LAT reports below the current report.
  6.  
  7.          If you or your company produces  a  virus  scanner,  send  an
  8.          evaluation  copy  to  me  on  5.25 " diskettes to the address
  9.          below,  and  I  will put the utility through it's paces. then
  10.          post the report in  this  format  that  will  be  distributed
  11.          through BBSs, and Virus conferences.

  13.          W.H. Lambdin
  14.          P.O. Box 118
  15.          East Bernstadt, Ky. 40729
  16.  
  17.          I contacted Fifth Generation  about  an  evaluation  copy  of
  18.          Untouchable  to  test in  LAT.  I  was told they would have a
  19.          supervisor call me and arrange the evaluation copy.  However;
  20.          the supervisor never returned my call.
  21.  
  22.          I did not test CPAV 1.1 or Virus Cure 2.24 in the May version
  23.          of  LAT because newer versions have been released, and I have
  24.          not been able to get them yet.
  25.  
  26.          I feel that it is time for us to stand together in defense of
  27.          Share  Ware  and  BBS  usage. Several companies refuse to use
  28.          Share ware products because of the perceived virus threat.  I
  29.          would  like  to  point out that several companies have helped
  30.          the spread of viruses recently.
  31.  
  32.          Novel
  33.          DaVinci
  34.          Leading Edge
  35.          and several others
  36.  
  37.          I want to thank  Fridrik  Skulason  and  Frisk  Software  for
  38.          sending an evaluation vopy of F-PROT 2.03A for these tests.
