I sure will!
 
Do you mean that there haven't been any updates to the engine, at all,
or that there have been, but they're not redistributable?

Thanks for the tip, Ben; I just found this, in POSSHORT:
 
NAVC10.EXE   1,315,230 10-23-99 Free Norton Anti-Virus Command-line
Scanner
 
It's getting a little 'long in the tooth', though.

Thanks for the offer (and, for the .DAT updates ); that's exactly
what I've done here, (with NAV 2002). I have it working just fine, but
NAVDX (version 1.0) is almost two years old, as you can see:

Version differences aside, do you think I've missed anything?
 
 BR> Here, I scan Downloads with McAfee, F-Prot and NAV (because I can).
 
The first two have seen excellent service, here; but, after I read the
last DOS scanner report from the U of Hamburg (that was a great link,
Ben; thanks again), I decided to add NAV to the arsenal. I had never
previously considered NAV, because it was so bad, in the past. I realize
now that I should've read the reports more frequently, and made the
addition earlier.
