Known problems with F-PROT
The following compatibility problems are known at the moment, and will be
fixed as soon as possible.
VIRSTOP is not compatible with the Cyrix 486SLC processor because of a
"bug" in the Cyrix chip - it is not 100% compatible with Intel processors.
This problem can be bypassed by using the /NOTRACE command-line switch
VIRSTOP may under some circumstances not be compatible with the 386Max
and BlueMax memory managers. If you have a problem, use the /NOTRACE
command-line switch.
VIRSTOP.EXE is not effective if run before a program which totally takes
over the "Load-and-Execute" function. This includes Novell Netware and
PC-NFS, and as explained elsewhere, VIRSTOP should be run after those
programs, or run again with the /REHOOK command-line switch, after those
programs are loaded.
Occasionally, when using Novell Netware 3.00 with VIRSTOP installed, and an
attempt is made to send anything to a HP laser printer over the network,
from inside certain Windows applications, the output may become garbled.
The reason for this is not known, but as several other TSR's are known to
cause the same problem, this is probably not a F-PROT problem. This can be
solved by using LPT1.OS2 instead of LPT1 as the printer port. This bug
seems to have been fixed in Windows 3.01
The following problem is not likely to go away in the near future:
F-PROT cannot be used on a single-floppy machine without a hard disk
or network connections. This is because if the F-PROT is run from a
diskette, the diskette may not be removed while the program is running, so
other diskettes cannot be inserted for scanning.
