- You can use this as a stand-alone Workbench or as a Disk drawer on
- your favourite Workbench. You may find that one or two of these
- programs require that ARP.library is in your L: directory.
-
- This collection is aimed at someone who has been caught by a Virus
- (shame on you). First you want to recover the disk that has been
- gunged by this repulsive thing - that's what DiskSalv is for.
-
- DiskSalv will recover as much as is possible from a disk
- and write it out to another disk. Now you have DiskSalv you can
- forget DiskDoctor. DiskDoctor just removes everything that is not
- 100% ok - quite destructive really, if a directory block gets
- clobbered you lose all the files! Run DiskSalv with a disk from a
- PD library, you may find extra interesting files being recovered.
-
- I've implemented DiskSalv with a script designed for two-drive
- users. After a while you'll be requsted to put the duff disk in
- DF0: and an empty disk, which will be formatted, in DF1: Click
- READY and watch the magic, when it's done follow all requesters.
-
- If you want it some other way, feel free to change it.
-
- Then, having realised that the virus menace is for real, you need
- the other programs on this disk. There are hundreds of virus
- utilities available, these are my selection of the best to save you
- the trouble of trying all of the others.
-
- VirusX is the best virus defence available.
- Virus Expert is a very good virus "expert system".
- BootSaver saves and writes bootblocks. There's a selection
- of good guys in :BB/ and some bad guys in :BBVIRUS/. Please don't
- use these maliciously, they're here if you really want to see what
- they do!!!
-
- VirusKiller detects viruses and heals bootblocks in its own
- unique way. VirusHunter is the detection part only, and is
- intended for use in your startup-sequence.
-
- Virus Protector patches a utility program that replaces the
- "insert Disk" screen. Sometimes works, sometimes encourages a
- visit from the guru!
-
- TrackSalve has been included as it would appear to assist
- DiskSalv in recovering bad tracks; see the docs and experiment.
-
- Look in the SYSTEM drawer for an interesting way to set
- preferences, based on SetAmiga. I've also include some
- printer drivers in Devs/Printers that some of you will find use
- for.
