McAfee "extra" dat files

[Randal, Phil]

man uvscan sez:

 --extra file
              Specify where to find the DAT file, extra.dat.  If  you  do
not
              specify  this  option  in the command line, the program looks
in
              the same directory from where it was executed.

Cheers,

Phil
