 PMFBI,
 I'm using the latest OEM of W95 and have not yet found enough nerve to
 try FPROT under W95.  I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how you are
 using it.
 Do you use it as a TSR at all or do you simply run it under a DOS window
 when you want to particularly check things out.
 How does it handle the long filenames?
 I'm really a chicken and fear that it might just affect some of the
 hidden files with long names and cripple my W95 so any suggestions that
 you might give me will be much appreciated.
 I really found FPROT superior to McAfee and would like the opportunity
 to keep on using it.
 Thanks for your help.
