Anti-Virus Area on ftp.demon.co.uk

readme.doc - 8 March 1994

Intro:
======

The space for this archive area has been kindly supplied by Demon Internet.
My objective is to offer a comprehensive cross-platform site for antivirus
utilities and information.  Most files are culled from elsewhere on the
net, though an increasing portion of the shareware is sent directly by
the authors.

Uploads:
========

Uploads to /pub/antivirus/incoming - with an announcement text I can post
emailed to me.  For programs I much prefer to have uploads directly by
the author, or to copy files myself from a 'quality' ftp site - tell me
where and I'll copy it across.

I have started a mailing list for news about the site, and distributing
upload announcements.  Mail mxserver@ubik.demon.co.uk and ask for a
subscription, (currently managed by hand).


Notes:
======

My creation and maintenance of this area is entirely voluntary.  The time
and dialup costs involved come directly from my pocket - so if you find
my work useful please mail me to say so.  (If you really like it a *lot*
I wouldn't say no to a modest donation of cookies, or pennies towards
my phone bill!  :-)
