Hi Vic,

I suppose you've looked at my scribblings at
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:anti_virus:panda:install
?
IIRC you still need supply a directory structure "mimicking" the
layout present when running on a message batch in MailScanner. And I
_think_ it still ignores the /path/to/batch argument. It's very
possible I recall wrong though:-), and I'm not near an MS box where I
can look at it until tomorrow... And I'm simply too lazy to DL and
read code @home:-).
I'm sure Rick and/or Julian will correct any misconceptions in the above:)
