- 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 Garbo, and all "mirrors" of those sites
- should always carry an up-to-date version of F-PROT.
-
- The primary locations are
-
- ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/virus/fp-xxx.zip
- ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/virus/fp-xxx.zip
-
- http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/virus/fp-xxx.zip
-
- xxx stands for the version number, for example 222 in version 2.22.
-
- The SimTel archive is mirrored on numerous sites, and in general you
- should use the one that is closest to you geographically.

- For people in remote corners of the world, without reliable FTP or WWW
- access, we offer the "F-PROT by E-mail" service.
-
- To use this service, you MUST be able to handle multiple-part uu-, xx-
- or mime-encoded mail messages. Please do not waste your time by using
- this service if you do not already have the software to decode such
- messages.
-
- To use this service you send an E-mail message to f-prot-update@complex.is
- This is an automated mail server. No human will see your message, and if
- it does not match the format described below, the mail server will just
- respond with a standard help message.
-
- For now the following commands are accepted by the mail server.
-
- Please note that the commands must be in the body of the message, not in
- the subject line or the header.
-
- send-as: form
- send-part: part_num
- send-size: size_in_kilobytes
- send-version
-
- The 'send-as' command signifies the encoding that should be used in sending
- the file by E-mail. 'form' must be one of: 'uue', 'xxe' or 'mime'.
- Please note that this line _must_ be present, unless you use just the
- send-version command.
-
- send-part: requests transmission of a specific part. You should only use
- this command if you are requesting re-transmission of a corrupted part.
-
- send-size: requests that a specific size (in KB) is used for each part.
- The size must be between 20 and 60.
-
- If the 'send-as' command is 'mime', F-PROT will be sent as a MIME message
- with Content-Type: message/partial.
-
- send-version is used to check which version is currently available. Using
- "finger f-prot@complex.is" is a better method, however.
-
- Examples:
-
- To get an uuencoded copy of the current version of F-PROT, send a message
- containing the following in the body to 'f-prot-update@complex.is' :
-
- send-as: uue
-
- If for some reason, the 6th part of the transmission failed, you could
- send another message to 'f-prot-update@complex.is' containing the following
- in the body:
-
- send-as: uue
- send-part: 6
-
- To change the block size to about 20 Kilobytes, you could send a message
- to 'f-prot-update@complex.is' containing the following in the body:
-
- send-as: uue
- send-size: 20
-
- And if the 4th part of that transmission is lost, you could send the
- following message to 'f-prot-update@complex.is':
-
- send-as: uue
- send-size: 20
- send-part: 4
-
- Comments about this service should be addressed to: f-prot-request@complex.is
- Suggestions for improvements are welcomed.
