 Arthur, maybe a slightly larger stick with Sophos and/or Microsoft system
 agent folks is over due?  This has been going on for over 6 months now,
 and the problem is getting worse, not better!

 Can we (individual DEC users) contact Sophos, or does the contact go 
 through you organization?

 thanks,
 Bruce

Bruce,

	You mentioned that the problem is getting 
worse.  This is interesting because I only receive this error 
every now and then.  Are you running anything else along 
with System Agent and Sweep?
	Right now, Sophos is  working with Office 97 file 
formats because as you may already know, the macro 
language is more powerful.  
	However, I will bring this up again when I next 
call the vendor.

Regards,

Arthur

444.23one problem is fixed my machines at 2.95 ! ...but I suspect there is now a new issueFIEVEL::FILGATEBruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452Wed Mar 12 1997 13:2114
 I have upgraded 4 machines to 2.95, the problem is gone on these machines!
 Some of the target machines are running Windows 95, some are at 950A, one
 is at 950B, none of them hang for the .0 reason now.

 Unfortunately, the 950B Windows 95 with FAT32 appears incompatable with
 this build of Sweep, generating the error 
              
               `Could not read Drive C: Sector 0',

 so Sweep95 does not auto terminate on this particular machine.  Sweep95
 version 2.94 also exhibits this problem.

Bruce,

That's good news!

Sweep for Windows 95 does not have FAT32 capabilities 
yet.  However, it can still be used to scan the files on the 
hard drive, Sweep will just think of the HD as being a 
network drive.  

Regards,
Arthur
444.25On FAT32 -i -auto is insufficient to allow auto termination due to the error.FIEVEL::FILGATEBruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452Mon Mar 17 1997 19:5510
 While I suspect it will take a couple months, what is Sophos
 guessing at to fix the problem with FAT32 no termination?

 Or (...and I DO believe in Santa!) is there a command line switch
 that will let Sweep ignore sector 0? (I suspect that the only reason
 that sweep does not shutdown and get off the screen is because of the
 posted error, no error => clean auto termination.)

    Bruce,
    
    The latest word from Sophos is to have FAT32 capabilities in 2.97
    (May).  Stay tuned!
