My anti-virus package (F-PROT) is by now quite well known in the
academic community, but I hear quite often that it is very difficult
to obtain for anyone without network access.  This is a problem for
many PC-owners, who would like to use it, but are unable to find it.
The package is available on several BBSes, but they often have only
old versions.

So, what I am planning to do is to send each new version by mail to
30-50 BBSes around the world - the question is just which ones.....

If you know of (or run) a BBS, where the SysOp is willing to upload
the package and announce each new version as it is received, I would
like to hear about it.

I will not consider any BBS on my list of 'Virus BBSes', however - the
12 or so BBSes which make viruses available for downloading are IMHO
the major reason for the recent explosion in the number of virus
variants.
