After my first comments on VIRUSCAN I have had some replies from other
people and this program seems to work in different ways on different
machines. I have used it on a COMMODORE PC 10 II and an AMSTRAD 1640, both
using MSDOS 3.2 and in both cases when doing a multiple scan of diskettes
the program thinks it is scanning the same diskette. I have tried this
both on drive A: and B: and this makes no difference. Rollo D. Rodgers
has tried this on different types of machines and had no difficulties if
the scan was done on the B: drive using DOS 3.2 (I think) but if scanned
on drive A: the scan is not done properly.
As I Pointed out this can be avoided by doing something different like DIR
or as Rollo D. Rogers suggested by hitting C before each disk. There is
a new version of VIRUSCAN out now and since I do not have a copy I dont know
if this has been fixed but I would be interested to know or if somone could
mail me a copy.
Best regards,
