Hi there,

1. The file is "ChangeLog", not "changelog" and not "Changelog".  It
often comes as a surprise to users of, er, other operating systems
that Linux, Unix etc. filesystems are case-sensitive.  The first of
the three spellings seems to be the international standard, but there
are a few variations on it.  (As ever.  Argh. :)

2. There is a lot of documentation which you should read before asking
this kind of question.  Some of it is about ClamAV

3. It says at the top of all messages from the ClamAV digest list

so it would be a good idea to do that.  Then everyone can benefit from
the messages when looking in the archives later on.  However I've kept
your subject line here so as not to break the thread.

4. Please take note of the way that I have trimmed the posts to which
I am replying, and try to do something similar.  Please do not post
long and irrelevant repeat copies of things that have already been
seen on the list.  If you do that, then as like as not people will
ignore you - or perhaps flame you - in future.

......

Finally, please don't treat this as a rebuke.  Your message shows many
of the characteristics of the messages from users who are new to Open
Source in particular and mailing lists in general.  I'm replying (in
hopefully a kinder way than some others might) so that you don't just
get a sparse reply like:

"Please read 'How to ask questions the smart way' by Eric S. Raymond."

Using Google, I found about 200,000 references to that document on the
Web just now.

73,
Ged.
