It's not completely stand-alone. You have to boot up with something else
first.

I just tried it. It reported "Incorrect DOS version" and exhorted me to
get the right one from C:\windows.
Thus it's not stand-alone either.
I suppose that I could copy the version from there onto my diskette.
It also seems to run everything from the A drive. I prefer to use a RAM
drive.
See the procedure in my file FPX-314E in my personal web space at
www.personal.psu.edu/glw4/FPX-314E.ZIP
This sets up a RAM disk and loads F-Prot, except for the signature files,
which can be obtained from www.f-prot.com/download.
Note that it applies only to hard drives formatted FAT and FAT32.
