- AUTOSCAN
- ~~~~~~~~
-
- After a conversation with Eric Boehm of the /\/\ountainTop
- BBS I decided to write this thing to automate some of
- the more tedious tasks such as scanning for Virus's..
-
- 10-19-90 Version 1.0:
- First public release, needed a config file to run and only
- supported ZIP and ARC file...Needed a dedicated "work" directory
-
- 10-20-90 Version 1.1:
- Someone wanted the ability to scan the hard drive(s) so that code
- was thrown in...(yea - a day later.)
- Added built in config file editing.
-
- 11-15-90 Version 1.2:
- Removed all code for the config file and built in the ability to
- search the current path for any needed files. Added support for
- ZIP,ARC,ICE,LZH and PAK files..Installed code to made it's own
- work directory and delete it when done...NO config file is now
- needed..(ok Eric ?? <smirk>).
- The log file was placed in the root directory of the current drive,
- also added time and date to the log.
-
- 12-23-90 Version 1.3:
- Made MANY changes is the source code and dropped the size of the
- EXE file..Log file is now placed in the same directory as
- AUTOSCAN.EXE, beats having a few of them eh?. Extended the scanning
- of hard drives to C: thru H:. Log file reports more of what is going
- on plus it's easier to read now..
- Check for DosExitcode and Doserror installed, made it a little more
- reliable when it checks how scan.exe exited.
- Installed code to run CHECK.EXE to simulate a Virus...
- Happy Christmas!!!!
-
- 01-13-91 Version 2.0:
- Hmm many changes to the source code. AUTOSCAN will now scan archives
- within archives to ANY level and ANY combination of compression types.
- Added support for LHARC and PKXARC, AUTOSCAN will use them if ICE.EXE
- or PKUNPAK.EXE aren't found. It will also check free disk space, if
- the amount of free space is less that 50% times the archive size
- AUTOSCAN will exit and make a note in the log.
- AUTOSCAN will now keep track of the files it has already processed.
- AUTOSCAN, if it detects a bad Archive or Virus, will rename the file
- with and extension of .BAD.
- Fixed a minor problem that if any needed file wasn't within the first
- 40 characters of the path it wouldn't be found..oops..sorry..
-
- Added in several Dos Errorlevels so batch files can be used effectivly.
- 'Bout it for now I think ! Any Ideas ?
