Many thanks.  We have been using the DOS version, which checks for both 
DOS and Windows viruses.  Are there also linux viruses?  
Does the linux version run better or faster than the DOS version and do 
they share the actual virus lists?

(I had better not let my partner know about this quite yet as he is 
capable of spending a couple of days playing with it and writing scripts 
to run it in various modes).
