THE ZIP TERMINUS(c) - v7.6BN Copyright 1990-1994 By S.T.CALISE * All Rights Reserved * STC BBS: (MODEM ACCESS ONLY N 8 1) 908-206-1386 ***** UPDATE INFORMATION VERSION 7.6BN ***** 1. Tested ZTEC76B for VIRUSCAN(tm) 9.21v111 Note that The Zip Terminus v7.6BN checks for 460Kb free contiguous conventional RAM at program startup. 2. Modified the The Zip Terminus virus scan option selection table in the "VIRUS SCAN DIR/DRIVE" submenu. The available user selected options for memory check have been separated and now include: C. CHECK MEMORY FOR CRITICAL & STEALTH ..... [ ] D. CHECK MEMORY FOR * ALL * KNOWN VIRUSES .. [ ] NOTE: Selection #D sends VIRUSCAN(tm) the /M option which instructs scan.exe to check for ALL known viruses which may inhabit memory. Turning option selection #D to ON is not recommended if the user also runs or makes use of another anti-viral program package which does not remove, cipher, hide or otherwise encrypt its own virus search strings in memory. Read the VIRUSCAN(tm) documentation for more information concerning the SCAN/CLEAN /M option. NOTE: The Zip Terminus v7.6BN by default does not send the /M option to scan.exe for virus checks performed during extraction or compression. The user may add a /M, if appropriate(refer to above), to the Zip Terminus configuration table entry #8 if so desired. NOTE: Use the Zip Terminus only in concert with McAfee Associates anti- viral products for best results. 3. It is now possible to run scan.exe using only default settings during virus checks made in extraction or compression operations. The user may enter "NONE" for the ZIPUP/UNZIP VSCAN OPTS configuration table entry if so desired. Note that a minimum of /A is recommended here when extracting archives of unknown content, installing software, or if a file-infecting virus has been found. /CHKHI is also appropriate if your machine is equipped with more than 640Kb of RAM. The first time startup values for the ZIPUP/UNZIP VSCAN OPTS table entry are /A /CHKHI. If you are using an XT machine memory may be scanned twice because of the CHKHI switch. The "/CHKHI" option may be removed if desired in such cases. Please refer to the VIRUSCAN(tm) documentation for a description of /A and /CHKHI 4. NOTE: You must first toggle F8-VIRUS SCAN to 'ON' before virus checking will take place during extraction or compression. VIRUSCAN(tm) by McAfee Associates is required. ***** UPDATE INFORMATION VERSION 7.6BN cont. ***** 5. Added "REDUCTION RATIO" to archive analysis display. 6. Version 7.6BN has the additional user option of creating MV Zips with file source specifications other than *.* 7. Revised manual path entry procedure. ****************************************** Trademarks of other companies mentioned in this program,help file and/or accompanying documentation appear strictly for identification purposes only and are the property of their respective companies.
