Thanks for the info. regarding the updates, Ben.
 
The U of Hamburg agrees with your assessment of VScan; but, according to
their last report, F-Prot's performance has declined, recently (hence,
my recent implementation of NAV). I have no way to verify their results,
though, since I have no recent specimens in my 'zoo'. I'll continue to
use all three, as well.

That's what I'm thinking, too. :)
