	We have recently shipped a couple of ports of our
	basic VirusScan product to Linux and to Solaris and SunOS.
	Our programming team expects the port to FreeBSD/NetBSD
	to be a simple recompile. 

	Like all of McAfee's software products evaluation copies 
	of uvscan are available from our ftp sites

		ftp://ftp.mcafee.com/pub/antivirus/vlnx100e.taz

	(for the Linux version: vsun100e.taz for SunOS and vsol100e.taz
	 for Solaris).

	Actually I should try it on my FreeBSD servers under 
	the new Linux binary compatibility.   Is there anything
	special I need to do to run a Linux a.out or ELF binary
	under FreeBSD?
