- ansi screen to complete on fast systems.
- Bugfix - Stopped upper imbedded indicator from flashing during
- the entire embedded archive testing process.
- Bugfix - Fixed some errors in the "move" routines which could

- Bugfix - Redirected Scan.exe's output as it seems to find gateway
- if it is installed.
- Bugfix - The tester now requires a drive and path before it will
- begin operation.
- Added - Errorlevel 5 to retain compatibility with BBS programs which
- use this as an indicator that a file is to be resumed.
- Added - Support for NON-ansi users.
- Added - Removed any attempt to send user output when a fossil is
- not found.

-
- Oct 27, 1992 - Ver 3.0 -No additions (Streamlined code and bugfixes)
-
- Bugfix - Internal archives which were not configured for, caused
- the system to choke with a runtime error. Fixed.
- Bugfix - A runtime error #6 was reported by a limited number of
- systems (using Share.exe). Repaired.
- Bugfix - A file failing the scan operation was still being
- reported as having failed scanning by "VER 1" (whoops).
- Bugfix - Some optimizing of code resulting in a smaller exe file.
-
- Nov 15,1992 - Ver 4.0 - Emergency release to fix a problem with Scan
-
- Bugfix - The redirection of SCAN.EXE's output introduced in Version
- 2 was removed due to problems with detection errorlevels

-

- version of THDPRO.EXE and incorporate them into the present
- version. (only version 4 is supported for this feature)

- As a result Version 5 absolutely requires PKZIP version
- 204e for the testing of "ZIP" archives.
-
- Added - A hack list can now be used (such as the "HACK REPORT")
- to avoid testing files with filenames that you do not want
- sent to your system. (files will fail but be saved)

- override the default when being used on a multi-node system.
-

- Bugfix - Previous versions would choke on illegal filenames (fixed).
