Hello, all. After seeing the following:

  > From:    hv@uwasa.fi (Harri Valkama LAKE)
  > Subject: fprot111.zip (PC)
  > Fridrik Skulason has uploaded his latest version of F-PROT (heavy
  > package of virus protection utils) to chyde.uwasa.fi (128.214.12.3)

I tried to access chyde.uwasa.fi via BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET and received not
fprot111.zip, but:

  > 19:50:36 > FTP chyde.uwasa.fi UUENCODE

Any suggestions? Maybe a North American site with fprot111.zip, although I'd
prefer an alternative to BITFTP (short of going Unix, that is)...
Many thanks
