 DK> I never gave it a thought.  When I upgraded to WIN95, I just kept

 Thank you for sharing this, I'll do just that.
 DK> I run it in a DOS window, usually to check out a newly downloaded
 DK> executable (or members of a downloaded .ZIP archive). 
 That's exactly what I wanted to do with it.
 DK> It doesn't!  :-)  Well, that is, it uses the short names produced by
 DK> DOS 7.0, just like every _other_ DOS compatible program does!  Which
 DK> seems to work just fine.  We doan' need no feelthy long filenames just
 DK> to open and scan a file :-) 
 You are so right!  I'm really very happy to learn this.
     
 DK> It probably doesn't even _find_  the hidden files (never checked
 DK> really).  I only used it a couple of times to check my entire system
 DK> (like, after some WIN95 program installs itself and it's broke and
 DK> locks up the installation).  Never seemed to have a bit of  trouble
 DK> with full drive scans.  It finds the long-name directories and
 DK> everything just fine, again because it uses the "short name" provided
 DK> by DOS 7.0 in the DOS window. 
 Didn't think of that, will keep it in mind and feel much more comfortable
 when using it.
 DK> I continue to use them both:  FPROT for a case-by-case manual scan of
 DK> newly imported files, and McAfee's Scan for Win95 that is installed
 DK> and usually active. 
 I also have the McAfee's installed & active but having been caught once 
before
 while using it and finding that FPROT got rid of the virus for me has
 made me much more careful.
 Many thanks for your reply, it is appreciated.
 Regards,  Duane
