- SCAN V97 is known to generate an exception error when run with some
- memory managers under DOS. I have not had any reports of problems
- running it in a VDM (DOS session) under OS/2 V2. I would recommend
- that you upgrade to the current version of SCAN, 97-B. It can be
- found in the Simtel20 archives or any of its mirror sites, or in the
- pub/antivirus directory of the mcafee.com site (IP# 192.187.128.1) as
- scanv97b.zip.

- You may wish to considering installing the OS/2 V2.00 Service Pak.
- The beta version is, well, a beta version. Your IBM representative in
- Sweden should be able to tell you about the availability of a
- Swedish-language SP.

- PS: SCAN 97-B with the /UNATTEND switch (required for Windows or OS/2
- DOS sessions) runs great on my PC: 483-33 clone with OS/2 V2.00 with
- Service Pak installed.
