- TBAV has been designed to provide a good performance, reliability and
- compatibility. In most cases the TBAV utilities will work as expected.
- However, in combination with some other applications, problems may
- occur if no special measures are taken. These applications are listed
- below.
-
-
- MEMORY OPTIMIZERS
- Problem:
- Some memory optimizers, like MemMax, MemMaker and Optimize, will
- not work properly if used in combination with the resident TBAV
- utilities. The resident TBAV utilities can act as device drivers
- as well as normal executables, depending on the way they are
- loaded, and this confuses some memory optimizers. The TBAV
- utilities also hook themselves into DOS for better virus
- protection, and they can not be moved in memory once loaded. Any
- attempt to do so will hang the machine.
- Workaround:
- Remove the TBAV utilities from the AutoExec.Bat file and/or
- Config.Sys file and run the memory optimizer. Add the TBAV
- utilities again to the AutoExec.Bat and Config.Sys file, and
- highload them if desired.

- DOS APPEND
- Problem:
- The /X switch of the DOS APPEND command is very dangerous: if
- you APPEND a directory with /X and then delete *.BAK when no
- such files exist in the current directory, then the .BAK files
- in the APPENDed directory will be deleted instead. APPEND is
- able to 'fool' programs by accessing another file than the file
- requested by the application, if a file with the same name
- exists in another directory. This also applies when one of the
- TBAV utilities needs to consult an Anti-Vir.Dat file: The
- Anti-Vir.Dat file of another directory might be accessed instead
- of the intended one.
- Workaround:
- TbSetup and TbScan switch off APPEND automatically if they
- detect that it has been loaded, but the resident TBAV
- utilities don't. It is therefore recommended to be very
- careful if you need to use the APPEND /X option and to
- switch it off as soon as you don't need it anymore.
