WHAT'S NEW

     Version 100 of the VIRUSCAN series adds detection of 195 new
viruses, bringing the total number of known viruses to 1,060, or
counting variants, 1,756.

     Beginning with this release, we are using a new method for
providing foreign language support.  The VIRUSCAN, NETSCAN, and
CLEAN-UP programs now check for a foreign language file named
MCAFEE.MSG in the same directory as the program and then display
messages in that language instead of English.  Since foreign
language support is now be handled outside of the programs, the
/FR (French) and /SP (Spanish) language switches have been removed.

     Foreign language files are currently available in Bulgarian,
Dutch, Finnish, French (European), German (Swiss), and Spanish
(Latin America).  Other languages will be added as time and demand
permits.

     Please note that there have been two earlier releases of Version
100, Version 9.1V100 and Version 9.11V100 for the VIRUSCAN, NETSCAN
and CLEAN-UP programs, and 5.2V100 for VSHIELD.  These versions were
not released on the Internet.

     The OS/2 versions of VIRUSCAN, NETSCAN, and CLEAN-UP Version 100
are still under testing and should be ready in a week or two.

     Congratulations to William S. McKiernan, president and COO of
McAfee Associates, and his wife on the birth of, heh, twins.  Bill
will no doubt be getting a lot less sleep in forthcoming months...
