During the past few months I've posted messages describing our commercial software for detecting the spread of viruses in MS-DOS environments. The package is called "SafeWord VIRUS-Safe", and amounts to an extension to MS-DOS that continuously monitors the integrity of DOS and all accessible file systems. Due to the nature of this net, all of my comments in the past have included a notice to the effect that "this is COMMERCIAL software, NOT shareware..." Well, I've convinced my marketing department to let me release this as shareware. We are still a commercial enterprise and our motives are still commercial, but we have decided that a shareware distribution mechanism makes a lot of sense for this product at this time. Accordingly, I have taken steps today to upload SafeWord VIRUS-Safe to several public-access BBS systems that will propogate it all over the world within the next couple of weeks. This is NOT "Crippleware": we are releasing the same package for which we have sold tens of thousands of commercial licenses to major banks and aerospace companies. This is the software I've been referring to that implements automatic ANSI X9.9 and ISO 8731-1 and 8731-2 Message Authentication Code integrity checking of DOS and all programs. I am interested in posting this software to the Anti-Viral archive sites that I've read about on this forum. I'm in the process of configuring one of our UNIX machines for UUCP and FTP transfers but I don't know how long it will take me to complete this task. It's all new to me. By one means or another, I want to get this software available via anonymous FTP through the popular servers out there. Anybody that can send me information to make this task easier will be doing me a great favor that will be appreciated. Meanwhile: please be invited to obtain SafeWord VIRUS-Safe, version 1.10 and evaluate and/or license it through Shareware! If you cannot download it from a BBS, we will send you diskettes for a nominal fee. - -Bob Bosen- Enigma Logic Inc. 2151 Salvio Street #301 Concord, CA 94565 USA Tel: (415) 827-5707 FAX: (415) 827-2593 Internet: 71435.1777 @ COMPUSERVE.COM
