To answer my own question... <G>

While it may not be a perfect solution, I've attached a Perl program
that's working well enough for me.  Using this I was able to figure
out why F-Prot wasn't detecting viruses that the other scanners were
detecting.

I'm using ActiveState Perl and the MIME::Tools package fetched with PPM.
The program is called using a command like:

$ perl mime.pl D:\imail\spool\virus\Dc60213a600eaa764.SMD

You will need to edit the program to change the scanner lines to
match the SCANFILE line(s) in your virus.cfg.  You can also change
the name of the temporary directory.
