- 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 and Windows 3.0 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 3.1
-
- The following problem is not likely to go away in the near future:
-
- If 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. The reason is that F-PROT stores all its text messages in a
- separate file, and needs to be able to access that file while running.
- The recommended solution is to copy the package to the hard disk or a
- RAM-disk, if you need to scan diskettes.
