Thanks, Marc.  I've got F-Prot (registered on the XP box and using the DOS
version on the DOS box), NAV, and McAfee anti-virus programs running when
required.  I'm getting the sig/dat updates via the file echo filegate on a
regular basis.  Tripple redundancy #_*SHOULD*_# be adequate on this
machine, you figure?

Well, considering that the DOS box doesn't have Windoooz installed, would
probably make the AVG installation very difficult, if not impossible.
Then, there is the matter of obtaining the sig/dat updates...  I don't
recall seeing if these updates were available via the filegate on a regular
basis or even if there was a AVG file echo tagname within the FILEGATE.ZXX
file (just looked, nothing is listed resembling AVG)...

I appreciate you help.

           Thanks ... Gerald

... I'm sorry, that line is busy till Monday. Would you hold please?
