I would like to know why the version of F-chk I have (1.13) wants to
write a temporary file called LZ__TEMP.TMP to DOS current directory.
That happens only when f-fchk scans INST_DSK.EXE from hyperdisk
speedkit. The tmp file is always deleted after scan. Size of the TMP
file si 22888 bytes and it seems to have code from the scanned file in
it.

I would like to know what causes this. None of the virus scanners I
have available has reported any virusinfection. Any suggestions or
information is appreciated

			BUT PLEASE REPLY BY E-MAIL.
