    Program Availability
         - It is intended that all future versions of THD ProScan [DOS] will
           be available on the internet at SimTel/msdos/virus/thd_12_1.zip
           (subject to change).

         - The OS/2 Native version "should" be available on Simtel mirror
           sites at SimTel/os2/virus/thd212_1.zip (subject to change).

         - Recently releases have tended to be made "about" every 10 months.
           By that logic, Version 12.1 is "expected" to remain current until
           at least September 1996 (VERY subject to change).

         - The newest version of THD ProScan is always available by
           FREQing THDPRO [for the DOS version] or THDOS2 [for the OS/2
           Version] from any of the following sites.
