Both of these programs are SHAREWARE. You may use these programs for 30
days. If after 30 days you decide you wish to continue using them, you agree

Patrick Harvey
710 Peachtree St NE #430
Atlanta, GA 30308
Only CHECKS and MONEY ORDERS will be accepted!
Your registration fee entitles you to use this software on a single computer
and to make as many copies of this software as you wish for backup purposes.
See the file INVOICE for more information.
PURPOSE OF THESE PROGRAMS
These programs have been designed to find hidden ANSI codes which COULD
redefine your keyboard. For example, an ANSI code embedded in a text file
COULD redefine your space bar key to format your hard drive when it is
pressed! These programs search for special strings which might be dangerous.
Be careful. Doing a TYPE filename.ext COULD redefine your keyboard!
PLEASE NOTE!:
COMMAND.COM MUST (Yes, MUST) be in your path!!
What ACHKDIR.EXE does:
This program checks all non-executable files in the current directory for
ANSI BOMBS. Simply copy ACHKDIR.EXE to a particular directory and execute
it! It will check all files in that directory for suspicious strings. If
a suspicious file is found, an alarm will sound, and the file ITSTHERE will
appear in that directory. This will allow BBS operators to check for
ANSI BOMBS in UNCOMPRESSED files. UNZIP your uploads to a directory, copy
ACHKDIR.EXE to that directory, and then run it! That's all you do! Make
sure you check for the presence of ITSTHERE after the scan. Command.com
must be in your path.
What ACHKFILE.EXE does:
This program checks a particular file for an ANSI BOMB. Simply execute
ACHKFILE.EXE and then follow the prompts. ACHKFILE.EXE will allow you to
see inside directories to assist you in choosing the correct file to scan.
Command.com must be in your path.
