- TranScan (TM) v3.00

- ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
-
-
- Short Description:
- ==================
-
- TranScan v3.00 -- Use in SCANFILE.BAT with Wildcat v3.xx.
-
- Long Description:
- =================
-
- No Wildcat SysOp should be without TranScan running from their ScanFile.Bat
- file after each upload. TranScan checks each upload for Viruses using ViruScan
- by McFee and converts each file to your choice of compression method while the
- user waits on-line. It updates the Wildcat Database and it even imports
- FILE_ID.DIZ and DESC.SDI descriptions. It processes GIF & JPG files and more.
- TranScan is easy to use and incredibly fast! The Shareware version requires NO
- KEYs and is not crippled in any way. Registration is only $25.
-
-
