SCAN V97 is known to generate an exception error when run with some
memory managers under DOS.  I have not had any reports of problems
running it in a VDM (DOS session) under OS/2 V2.  I would recommend
that you upgrade to the current version of SCAN, 97-B.  It can be
found in the Simtel20 archives or any of its mirror sites, or in the
pub/antivirus directory of the mcafee.com site (IP# 192.187.128.1) as
scanv97b.zip.

You may wish to considering installing the OS/2 V2.00 Service Pak.
The beta version is, well, a beta version.  Your IBM representative in
Sweden should be able to tell you about the availability of a
Swedish-language SP.

PS: SCAN 97-B with the /UNATTEND switch (required for Windows or OS/2
DOS sessions) runs great on my PC: 483-33 clone with OS/2 V2.00 with
Service Pak installed.
