- VID - Virus Information Door History Notes: o New * Change ! Fix
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ■ What's New in Release 2.20b? ■
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- o Added nearly 500 new viruses, and updated several others, bringing
- the total up to 2,104 entries in the virus database.
-
- o Added a feature to allow searching across the virus descriptions
- for text strings.
-
- o Added the sysop paging feature with split screen chat mode.
-
- o Added a "View Relationship Tree" feature
-
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ■ What's New in Release 2.01b? ■
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- o Got rid of the VIDDEF.TBL file. I made it's contents internal
- to VID, as it was causing too much confusion! This should cure any
- path problems that you are experiencing.
-
- ! A few cosmetic fixes in the menu system.
-
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ■ What's New in Release 2.01? ■
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- o Over 100 new viruses added, bringing the total up to 1,557 entries.
-
- o Cleaned up display in several of the search and list options,
- including multi-column virus listings (Thanks to Chris Koziol).
-
- o Provided an option for online documentation for end-users.
-
- * Due to an internal problem in the original 2.00 release, you must
- use v2.01+ to use any new enhancement modules. The database
- structures have changed a bit.
-
- * The periodic VID integrity check has been enhanced. VID now
- stores its integrity information in a file called SANITY.CHK.
- Ensure that this file resides in the VID directory!
-
- * In the 2.00 release, the VIDDEF.TBL file had to reside in the
- path. This was causing a message subsystem initialization error
- if VID could not locate this file in the path! VID now looks in
- the current directory first. (Thanks to Steve Pepin)
-
- ! In the Behavior search, although the default answer is "Ignore",
- the prompt showed the default as "No". Fixed! (Steve Pepin).
-
- ! If VID was typed alone with no arguments, the old switches from
- the 1.10 release were displayed! Fixed! (Steve Pepin, again!).
-
- ! VID now handles extraneous spaces in registration keys. This
- occurred when clipping a key from a netmail message. Squashed!
- (Thanks to Bart Holiman).
-
- ! In the 2.0 datafiles, the "Stealth" flag on several viruses was
- not set properly. Squashed!

- ■ What's New in Release 2.00? ■
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- o Just about everything. A complete re-write.
- o Total Virus Count up to nearly 1,500 viruses.
- o VID can now be run in two modes (VID Lite mode and VID+ mode)
- The difference between the two modes is that VID+ provides detail
- information on each virus, whereas with VID Lite, you just get
- the pertinent info. The VID+ module is simply a drop-in set of
- files for the VID engine. The VID+ module is rather large, thus
- the separation for those of you who are low on disk space.
- o Virus names are now "color-coded" for recognition purposes.
- o Implemented a periodic integrity check on the VID database files
- o Improved on multinode/multiuser support, adding support for the
- "TASK" environment variable.
- o Several large enhancements over the 1.10 menu interface/design.
- (See documentation for more information on the new interface).
- o Added dropfile support for WildCat! style DOOR.SYS and the new
- RemoteAccess 2.0+ style EXITINFO.BBS
- o Dropfiles are now automatically detected, rather than specified.
- o Tons of minor enhancements and modifications.

- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- o 74 New viruses added to the VID database.
- o Added Ability to Query into Virus Lengths.
- o "Browse" mode now more global in scope.
- o BUG: VID would hang some systems. This was due to a memory
- allocation bug in the VID system. Squashed!
