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:
Concord, CA ftp.cdrom.com 192.216.191.11
Urbana, IL uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu 128.174.5.14
Rochester, MI OAK.Oakland.Edu 141.210.10.117
St. Louis, MO wuarchive.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4

Corvallis, OR ftp.orst.edu 128.193.4.2
Salt Lake City, UT ftp.pht.com 198.60.59.5

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.
