ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products.

Most PC's have a UTILITY directory. Copy them there or to the DOS directory. 2) Execute HDT and configure it. See section 'CONFIGURE'. 3) Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: After the PATH= statement add this line: 'HDT /SCAN'. >>> It Is EXTREMELY important you add HDT AFTER PATH= <<< 4) Alternatively, you may add 'HDT /SCAN /QUIET /FILES:10' to have a quiet scan, and to save 10 tracker files. FILES:7 is the default if not specified. /QUIET hides the fact HardTrack is running in registered versions only. 5) Next, you should reboot and test the installation. 6) Use option 'D - Determine Changes' to create a report. See section 'Creating Reports' for more information. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 5 - 2.3 - Manual Installation. - Use Manual mode for tracking changes before a software installation or whenever you need to. - Follow these steps to install HDT manual mode: 1) If you've already installed automatic mode, skip this. 2) Copy HDT.EXE and HDTLIST.EXE to the DOS path. Most PC's have a UTILITY directory. Copy them there or to the DOS directory. 3) Execute HDT and configure it. See 'CONFIGURE'. 4) Use option 'C' - Create a Tracker File. See section 'Create a Tracker File' in this documentation. 5) Perform the software installation or just use your PC for a while. 6) When you're ready to see what changed on your system, execute HDT and use option 'D' to determine changes See the section, 'Creating Reports' for more detail. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 6 - 2.4 - PC Administrator Installation. - These procedures are only for PC administrators who must audit, or see what changes occurred on a user's computer. All others should ignore these procedures. - PC Administrators should follow these steps: 1) Prepare a floppy disk for HardTrack by copying HDT.EXE onto it. A single 1.4M floppy should be large enough for 6 different PC's. 2) Name each PC you will be auditing. HardTrack stores tracker files for each PC name in a separate directory. 3) On the user's PC, insert the floppy and change the DOS prompt to the floppy (A: or B:). 4) Execute HDT and configure it. See section 'Configuring HardTrack'. Configuration is required for the first PC. Do not assign a PC name at this time. 5) Use HDT option 'C - Create' for each PC you are tracking. Remember to assign a name for each PC. On the floppy, a separate directory will be created for each PC. 6) When finished with the initial scans, backup the floppy to make sure it doesn't have errors. 7) To audit the user's PC, obtain the original scan disks. 8) Once again, go to each machine, use HDT option 'C', and scan the drives. Enter the correct PC name or the audit will not be accurate. 9) When finished with each PC, you may take the diskette back to your own computer, and process the reports at your desk. - 2.5 - Extremely Large Drives. - When using HardTrack on extremely large drives, you may experience an out of memory condition. - Limit the number of drives scanned by: - Use HardTrack option 'F' - Configure. - Add drive letters to NEVER SCAN drive configuration. - Exit configuration and test. - Look for HardTrack PRO! which will use EMS/Disk swapping for UNLIMITED scan drive size. Available: 4th Quarter, 1993. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 7 - 2.6 - HardTrack Command Line Switches. - These options are used after 'HDT' on the DOS prompt. - HDT /? - - Use /? to view the online tutorial for HardTrack. - HDT /SCAN - - Use /SCAN to automatically perform a tracking scan of your drives. - Scans are performed once each day. I recommend adding HDT to your AUTOEXEC.BAT, or add HDT /SCAN as a timer event if your system stays up all the time. - If HDT detects a previous scan file which contains today's date, it will not process a scan. - If the CONFIGURE screen is displayed each time a scan is run you need to: - Check the location of HDT.EXE in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Is it after the PATH= statement? - See if HDT.EXE is actually in a DOS path directory. - Advanced DOS users who do not want HDT.EXE in a path directory can run HDT from any directory, as long as the directory is the one you 'CD' to before executing. The change directory should be the same one each time HDT is run. - /QUIET - - /QUIET requires use of /SCAN to be functional. - Use when you want HDT to perform it's scan without user knowledge. - The shareware registration reminder is displayed in the shareware version. You must register to effectively use this option. - /FILES:7 - - /Files:NN requires use of /SCAN to be functional - This controls the auto cleanup of HDT files. - Use /FILES:365 to save the maximum number of HDT files. - Use /FILES:1 to only save one single HDT file. - /Files:7 is the default used when /FILES:NN not specified. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 8 - 2.7 - HardTrack Report. - This section contains an example HardTrack report. - HardTrack's report contains 3 sections: 1) Modified Files 2) Added Files 3) Missing Files. - An example of HardTrack's report header is: - 0001 - HardTrack Report UnRegistered - Evaluation Use Only --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Of: 05/27/93 at 13:23 OLSEN Tracker Date: 05/27/93 at 12:56 - The 'As Of' date is either the SCAN date and time or the date of the file used to replace the scan. - OLSEN is the PC name. - The 'Tracker Date' is the date and time of the .HDT file used for input. - The Modified report looks like this: -- Modified: ----------------------------------------------------------- D930527A.HDT C:\YC\OLSEN\ Current: 93/05/27 12:56 ARHS 49,082 Was: 93/05/27 12:55 ARHS 49,082 -- Modified: ------------------------------------------------------------ - The filename/directory is displayed on the first line. - Current file contents is the file information obtained from HDT's scan or input file replacing the scan. - Was: is the information obtained from the tracker file. - This file was changed one minute after a tracker scan. - You can configure HDT to ignore the 'ARHS' flags. - The new file report looks like this: -- New File: ----------------------------------------------------------- SCREEN.BAK C:\YC\HDT100.SHR\ Current: 93/05/27 13:03 ARHS 1,140 -- New File: ----------------------------------------------------------- - New file information is given in 'Current:' line. - The Missing report looks like this: -- Missing: ------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.MSG C:\FD\NETMAIL\SHAREWRE\ Was: 93/05/10 13:21 861 -- Missing: ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Missing file information is given in 'Was:' line.

HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 10 - 3.2 - F - Configure HardTrack. - Configuration is required and is displayed at the first execution of HardTrack. - If HDT.EXE is not in a DOS path directory or floppy, HardTrack may not be able to identify the configuration file (HDT.CFG), and the configuration screen will be displayed more than once. To correct this situation: - Copy HDT.EXE to a DOS path Directory. - or, make sure you are always executing HDT at the same DOS directory prompt (CFG saved in current dir). - or, if floppy, be sure the DOS prompt is on A: or B: - Here is an example configuration screen: ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Create Tracker Path: C:\DOS\____________________________ │ │ │ │ Report Path: C:\________________________________ │ │ │ │ Default PC Name: OLSEN___ List Pgm Name: LIST.COM_ │ │ │ │ Force Scan Drives: K___________________________________ │ │ │ │ Never Scan Drives: IJ_________________________________ │ │ ┌────────────────┐ │ │ │ Report Options │ │ │ └────────────────┘ │ │ Detail?: Y Rpt Page Length: 59 │ │ │ │ Modified Rpt?: Y New File Rpt?: Y Missing Rpt?: Y │ │ │ │ Report Attrib Flag Changes?: Y │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ - Create Tracker Path: - Enter an existing directory to save tracker files. - Every time you 'Create' or /SCAN a drive, HardTrack will put the results in this directory, using a subdirectory equal to PC Name, if PC name is not blank. - Report Path: - Enter an existing directory to save report files. - This directory can be changed before you create a report. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 11 - 3.2 - F - Configure HardTrack (Continued) - Default PC Name: - The name of your PC is added to the Tracker Path so tracker files (.HDT) can be saved in a unique directory. - You do not have to name your PC. If PC name is blank, tracker files are saved in the Tracker Path. - PC administrators should leave this field blank. Enter a name when you create a tracker file. - List Program Name: - I recommend LIST.COM by Vernon Buerg. He's done a very nice job. Authors Address: Vernon Buerg 139 White Oak Circle Petaluma, CA 94952 - I've included HDTLIST.EXE with this release. It contains most of the functions you will need for Viewing and Searching the HardTrack Report. You may use HDTLIST as a LIST.COM replacement. - Force Scan Drives: - Enter any additional drive letters you wish to have added to the tracker file. - HardTrack uses a fairly conservative hard drive search routine. If you have networked, removeable, or other non-standard DOS drives, add them here. - If the drive is not available at scan time, a NOT READY error will be displayed. Use 'Cancel' or hit escape to bypass the scan of a 'NOT READY' drive. - Never Scan Drives: - If you wish to remove a drive from automatic scan, add the drive letter here. - Add the drive letter that consistently returns a 'NOT READY' error. The drive will be ignored during HardTrack's scan. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 12 - 3.2 - F - Configure HardTrack (Continued) - Report Options: - The remainder of the configuration deals with report options. - Detail: - To conserve report space, Detail=N, may be chosen. - Detail=N only lists the filenames and directories that were modified, added, or missing. - Detail=Y is recommended. The report is larger, but contains much more useful information - Rpt Page Length: - This defaults to 59 lines per page, which is the setting for most laser printers. - If you have a dot-matrix printer, use 65 for page length. - You may use any page length up to 99. - Modified Report: - Defaults to 'Y' - Change to 'N' to skip modified file reporting. - New File Report - Defaults to 'Y' - Change to 'N' to skip new file reporting. - Missing Report. - Defaults to 'Y' - Change to 'N' to skip missing file report. - Report Attribute Flag Changes: - Defaults to 'Y' - Change to 'N' to ignore attribute flags when determining modified files. - Since many backup procedures change the attribute flag, you may want to change this option to 'N' if too many files are listed with only an 'A' flag change. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 13 - 3.3 - C - Create a Tracker File. - This option creates an index file of all your hard drive files. - Here is a screen snapshot: ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Create A New HardTrack File │ │ │ │ │ │ Tracker Path: C:\YC\_______________ │ │ │ │ PC Name: OLSEN___ │ │ │ │ Tracker File: D930527A_ .HDT │ │ │ │ Press Enter to Process Tracker Scan │ │ Press ESCAPE to Abort │ └────────────────────────────────────────┘ - You are required to enter the Scan Path, PC Name, and Scan File before creating a tracker index file. - Tracker Path: - This is the configuration path for storing .HDT files. - Normally, you do not need to change this field, just press enter to accept the configured tracker path. - PC Administrators should make sure this is a floppy drive. - PC Name: - This is the PC Name you configured. - PC Administrators should use a different PC name for each PC being audited. - A PC name is not required. If the PC is not named, HDT files will be stored in the Tracker Path. - Tracker File. - All tracker files end with .HDT, so that HardTrack can identify the files easily. - You may change the beginning of the filename to any name you wish. - If you are using Automatic Mode, I recommend using a filename format of DYYMMDDA - 'D' with year, month and day followed by a letter. This format is the only way you can be positive old tracker files will be deleted properly. HardTrack User's Manual ------------------------------ Page 14 - 3.3 - C - Create a Tracker File (Continued). - After verifying the path, PC name, and filename, press enter to begin the drive scan. - The drive scan shows you the status of each directory as it's being scanned. - If you receive a 'Drive Not Ready' error, you can either fix the error, or move the cursor to CANCEL to skip scan of the drive. The drive scan will continue without not ready drive. - When the scan finishes, each drive and directory scanned will be displayed for your information. If a drive is not included in the scan, use the configuration option to add it to 'Force Scan' drives. - An example of the results display follows: ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Tracker File Created.
