- How to obtain updates to the shareware version over the net:
-
- If you have FTP access, you can always get the most up-to date version of
- F-PROT by anonymous FTP from a number of sites. Our primary method of
- distribution is through SimTel, and all SimTel "mirror" sites should
- always carry an up-to-date version of F-PROT.
-
- SimTel's primary mirror site is ftp.Coast.NET (205.137.48.28) located
- in Detroit, Michigan, and there the program may be found in the directory
- /SimTel/msdos/virus.
-
- The location of the package on other SimTel mirrors varies, but the
- directory usually is named something like:
-
- /pub/simtel/msdos/virus
- /Simtel/msdos/virus
- /pub/mirrors/simtel/msdos/virus
- /mirrors/SimTel/msdos/virus
- /mirrors/simtel.coast.net/Simtel/msdos/virus
-
- Secondary SimTel mirror sites in the US include:

- If you don't have FTP access, there is an automatic F-PROT mailer service
- for users that would like to obtain the latest version of the F-PROT
- shareware product directly from the source.
-
- To use this service, you send an E-mail message to f-prot-update@complex.is
- NOTE: This used to be f-prot@complex.is, but for various reasons it was
- changed.
-
- This service accepts the following commands:
-
- send-as: form
-
- The 'send-as' command signifies the encoding that should be used in sending
- the file over email channel. 'form' must be one of: 'uue' or 'xxe'
- Please note that this line _must_ be present!
-
- Examples:
- If joe.user@some.machine.in.the.world would like to get a uuencoded copy of
- f-prot, he would send a message containing the following in the body to
- 'f-prot-update@complex.is' :
-
- send-as: uue
-
- If he wanted it in a xxencoded form, he would send the following:
-
- send-as: xxe
-
-
- Another feature that is available is to check the version of f-prot
- available through this mailserver. To see the version, send the following
- to the 'f-prot-update@complex.is' address:
-
- send-version
-
- Comments about this service should be addressed to: f-prot-request@complex.is
- Suggestions for improvements are welcomed.
