- Latest Versions of AU:
- ----------------------
- 1.00 through 1.09 in AUHIST
-
- 12/04/89
- 1.10 1- Fixed serious problem with self extracting archives. If
- a file inside the self extractor had the same name as
- the self extractor itself, all the utilities would mess
- up.
- 2- 50 character limit on archive/unarcive/test methods now
- beefed up to 120.
- 3- Had "compressed" and "uncompressed" backwards in asize
- summary.
- 4- View now works with self extractors even if .COM and
- .EXE are in the avoid list.
- 5- ASCAN utility added.
- 6- Fixed bug where ASIZE and REDATE would stop after the
- first self extractor.
-
- 12/14/89
- 1.10a 1- Fixed problem with CONVERT choking on recursive archives
- 2- Path limit of 200 characters lifted.
- 3- convert_pak2 option added to CONVERT.
- 4- convert_zip1 option added to CONVERT.
- 5- ASCAN is now the right version, some 1.10s went out with
- it not working.
- 6- ASIZE now uses @ files in place of a list on the command
- line.
- 7- ASIZE reduced by 3K
- 8- Fixed problem with ASIZE not reporting the correct
- percentages if the total was 21 Megs or larger.
-
- 12/16/89
- 1.10b 1- Fixed UNARC so it wouldn't delete the self extracting
- files if delete_behind off. This problem also made the
- ASCAN look like it was deleting them too.
- 2- Fixed Bug with CONVERT choking if more than one archive
- method was specified. So the BENCH.CFG would cause it
- to do strange things.
-
- 01/10/90
- 1.11 1- TEST now creates a batch file only once instead of
- before each file is to be tested. Should help on speed
- 2- AU.CFG is now found if it is in the last directory in
- the PATH where before it wasn't.
- 3- -M,-X,-V,-N Command options added to ASCAN.
- 4- Source code altered to be more uniform
- 5- Executable code optimized some more for size.
- 6- ASCAN now only tries for archived files
- 7- Smart_mode on .ARC files wasn't accurate. Changed the
- ID to chr(26) as first character, chr(26) as 2nd to
- last character.
- 8- OPUSWEEP changed to BBSWEEP which now works for GT-
- Powercomm as well.
- 9- Fixed bug with unarc and recursion. Would get stuck in
- infinite loop occasionally
- 10- -B,-G,-L,-P added to BBSWEEP
- 11- Smart mode now works with .ARC, .PAK, and .DWC files
- downloaded with Xmodem
- 12- DWC compressed files are renamed to .DWC under smart
- mode so that DWC will work.
-
- 1/14/90
- 1.11a 1- Fixed Divide error in ASIZE if files smaller than 100
- bytes were used
- 2- Brought Bench.cfg in line with AU.cfg
- 3- ASCAN defaults Self extracts ON instead of OFF
- 4- ASCAN -N option now requires a number instead of
- on/off. The number is how many versions of SCAN have
- passed since last scanned to ignore.
- 5- -Y option added to UNARC. ASCAN calls unarc with this
- option set on.
- 6- -W option added to ASCAN for faster usage for those
- with ramdrives.
- 7- smart_mode modified so that .PAK will be used for
- some .ARC files that previously weren't recognized.
- 8- Self extractors process a little slicker.
- 9- Revision History limited to last 3 major versions.
- Full History must now be file requested.
-
- 1/22/90

-

- Directory.
-
- 1/25/90

- 9- VIEW now calls UNARC to do its dirty work, makes VIEW
- smaller and removes need for unarc methods in .cfg
- file under BEGIN VIEW.
- 10- Online Convertor added to VIEW. Online.cfg file used
- by convert in this case.

- for the presence of .$V$ files when rearchiving and
- renames the new archive file if one exists.
- 6- CONVERT allows multiple EXECUTE statements.
- 7- -A added to ASCAN
-
- 04/13/90
- 1.12b 1- -A in ASCAN scans all the files at once instead of
- individually and renames the first file if a virus is
- found instead of the virus file itself.
- 2- Space Bar characters are absorbed by the program so
- they no longer ask the continue Y/N question.
- 3- Convert works with Self extractors again.
-
- 04/19/90
- 1.12b1 1- Fixed bug with ASCAN renaming files to $V$ when they

- specified as the work directory itself.
-
