It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##88 This switch will extract files from a ZIP file and automatically over- write any same-named files found in the destination where the extracted files are being located. PKUNZIP will NOT prompt you for confirmation before overwriting these files. ACZAR alows you to extract the entire ZIP file or certain files within the ZIP file. ##89 This switch will extract files from a ZIP file and display them on the monitor. The extracted files will scroll continuously on the screen. ACZAR can be told to pause after each screen of output by using the 'MORE' switch. ##90 This switch will extract files from the ZIP file only if they are newer than the same-named ones already on the disk, or if they do not already exist on the disk. This option serves as an overwriting safeguard. It will not allow an older version of a file in a ZIP file to overwrite a newer version on disk. 'Newer' is defined as the most recent time and date created. ##91 This switch is used to test the files to make sure they are valid and have not been corrupted. The files will be listed as they are being tested 'OK' after each file if it is not corrupted. This option does not extract files from the ZIP file; it only tests them. ##92 This switch is used to display technical information concerning the files contained within a ZIP file. There are several options available with this switch. The following information about each file in the ZIP file will be displayed (scrolled) on the screen. Length Original length of the file Method Type of file compression used, Implode or Shrink, or Reduce if an older version of PKZIP was used Size Size of the compressed file Ratio Percent reduction in the file size Date Actual date of the file Time Actual time of the file CRC-32 The CRC-32 value of the file Attribute The attribute of the file (s=System, h=Hidden, w=Writable, r=Readonly file, and *=encrypted file) Name Name of the file The view options for PKUNZIP are explained below. The options determine how the information will be displayed and sorted. The following display options are available: - The brief display option will display all the information shown above except the CRC-32 value and the file attribute. - Display information in reverse order from the default order. This option is used with any of the sorting options listed below to reverse the order of sorting. The following sorting options are available. The default order of sorting is also specified. - Sort by date of files, oldest to most recent. - Sort by file extension, alphabetically. - Sort by name of files, alphabetically. - Sort by percentage ratio of compression, smallest to largest - Sort by size of files, smallest to largest. - Sort by 32 bit CRC value. If no sorting option is specified, the files will be displayed in the order they were compressed. ##93 This switch is used to extract files from a ZIP file and send them to a printer for printing. Following options are available: - Set the printer device to either ASCII or Binary mode. If no mode is specified, whatever the default mode is for the device will be used. ASCII mode is commonly used to print text. It will form feed after each file. Binary mode corresponds to the COPY command commonly used to send fonts or graphics to a laser printer. It will not form feed after each file. Only one option can be used - Option that specifies the port that the data should be sent through. If this option is included in the print option above, this specifies a serial (COM) port is to be used. If this option is NOT included in the print option, this indicates a parallel (LPT) port is to be used. - The number of the print port being used. It can ba any number from 1 to 4. If no number is listed, 1 is assumed by default. ##94 This switch uses the pathnames that have been stored in the ZIP file. If the stored output paths do not exist at the extraction destination, this switch will create them as the are stored in the ZIP file. ##95 This switch will display the PKUNZIP software license agreement. ##96 By default, ANSI sequences are filtered from the comments. This option allows any ANSI sequences to be displayed unfiltered. ##97 This switch is used to mask the hidden, system or readonly attributes of files so that they will be treated as normal writable files. By default, hidden, system, and readonly attributes are masked off upon extaction. ##98 This switch is used to unscramble, or decrypt the files in the ZIP file. When unzipping a ZIP file that has been encrypted, the files will not be extracted unless the correct password is included with ACZAR. The password is case sensitive. ##99 PKZIP allows you to create a plain ASCII text file containing a list of files to \bexclude\b from a decompress operation, or a particular file. ##100 If you experience strange behavior when using PKUNZIP, try this option. When this option is on, PKUNZIP will use only conventional memory. Use of this switch may reveal problems or incompatibilities with your EMS driver. ##101 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##102 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything. ##103 ACZAR is ready to run the first time it will be started. It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##104 This option will add only those files to the ZIP file that were NOT backed up the last time. It adds only those files that have been changed. If the program returns the notation 'No files found', this means that everything had been previously backed up. ##105 This switch is used to display technical information concerning the files contained within a ZIP file. There are several options available with this switch. All explained below. The options determine how the information will be displayed and sorted. The following information about each file in the ZIP file will be displayed (scrolled) on the screen. Length Original length of the file Method Type of file compression used Size Size of the compressed file Ratio Percent reduction in the file size Date Actual date of the file Time Actual time of the file CRC-32 The CRC-32 value of the file Attribute The attribute of the file (s=System, h=Hidden, w=Writable, r=Readonly file, and *=encrypted file) Name Name of the file The view options for ZIP are explained below. The options determine how the information will be displayed and sorted. The following display options are available: - The brief display option will display all the information shown above except the CRC-32 value and the file attribute. - The additional technical display option is used to display extra technical information. When this option is active, the following information will be displayed on the screen. With this display, the following information about each file in the ZIP file will be displayed on the screen. ■ Filename Name of the file ■ File type Type of file ■ Encrypted It will be noted here if the file is encrypted ■ Attribute The attribute of the file (s=System, h=Hidden, w=Writable, and r=Readonly file) ■ Comments File comment if present will be listed here ■ Date and Time Date and Time of the ZIP file ■ Compression Method Imploding or Shrinking (or Reducing, if an earlier version of PKZIP was used) ■ Compressed Size Reduced ir compressed size of the file ■ Uncompressed Size Original length of the file ■ CRC-32 The numeric CRC-32 value ■ Created by The version of PKZIP and the operating system used to create the ZIP file ■ Needed to extract The version of PKZIP required to extract the files Example: Filename: M3.DOC File Type: text Attributes: --w Date and Time: Jul, 17, 1991 09:15:00 Compression Method: Implode Compressed Size: 8260 Uncompressed Size: 26631 32 bit CRC value: 27418eb3 Created by: PKZIP: 1.0 under MS-DOS Needed to extract: PKUNZIP: 1.0 - Display any existing file comments - Display information in reverse order from the default order. This option is used with any of the sorting options listed below to reverse the order of sorting. Any of the display option explained above can be used with the sorting options listed below. The following sorting options are available. The default order of sorting is also specified. - Sort by date of files, oldest to most recent. - Sort by file extension, alphabetically. - Sort by name of files, alphabetically. - Display in original order, i.e. the order in which the files were zipped. (This option can be used to override any configuration parameter you may have set.) - Sort by percentage ratio of compression, smallest to largest - Sort by size of files, smallest to largest. If no sorting option is specified, the files will be displayed in the order they were compressed. ##106 This option is case sensitive. It is used to create file comments for the individual files contained in the ZIP file. The maximum length for the comments is 60 characters. You will be prompted to enter the comments. If a comment already exists, you can edit it or press the <Enter> key to retain the same comment. To delete an existing comment, press the space bar followed by the <Enter> key. - Edit all comments for existing files or files that are added - Create comments for only the new files that were added to the ZIP file ##107 This option allows you to create a descriptive label for your ZIP files. The Zipcomment will then automatically be diplayed by PKZIP or PKZUNZIP whenever the specific ZIP file is processed. The program will prompt you to type in a Zipcomment. After entering the Zipcomment, press the <Enter> key to save it. ##108 This option is used to specify the compression algorithm to be used in creating the ZIP file. There are two types of compression that can be used: Shrinking and Imploding. The options are explained below. - Imploding method. In general, it provides a greater degree of compression over the Shrinking method. In most cases where Shrinking would work better than Reducing in PKZIP 0.9x, Imploding will do better than Shrinking. This is the default for PKZIP. - Shrinking method. In general, it provides a faster method of compression over the Imploding method. - Imploding method is to be used on all ASCII files and the Shrinking method is to be used on all binary files - Imploding method is to be used on all binary files and the Shrinking method is to be used on all ASCII files. - Regardless of the compression method specified, files smaller than 320 bytes in size will be Shrunk, if enough memory is present. - Shrinking requires more memory than Imploding. If there is enough memory tp perform Imploding, but not enough memory to perform Shrinking and any of the last three options listed are chosen, PKZIP will issue a warning and use Imploding instead. Shrinking requires 128 KBytes to run, and Imploding approximately 90 KBytes. ##109 This switch allows you more flexibility when creating or updating ZIP files. The program will recurse through specified directories when obtaining files to compress. ##110 This switch is used to exclude files from the current operation. It can be used along with any of the MS-DOS file handling descriptions. ##111 This option is designed to be used when insufficient disk space is a problem. Every time a ZIP file is updated, PKZIP creates a new pre-ZIP file. When the updating is completed, the original ZIP file is auto- matically deleted and the pre-ZIP file becomes the new ZIP file. The result of this operation is that you need disk storage space equal to at least twice the actual size of the ZIP file while updating the ZIP file. Disk space is generally not a problem on a hard disk, but can pose restrictions on a floppy disk. If adequate disk space is not available, the program will stop. The option used here will locate the pre-ZIP file on the path and location specified. This file is used only in the process of updating the original ZIP file. It will replace the original ZIP file and will NOT exist on the location specified in this option, when the update process is completed. ##112 This option is case sensitive. It allows you to store the directory and path information pertaining to each file within the ZIP file (or list file). - All the pathnames that are recursed into will be stored in the ZIP file - All the pathnames specified and those recursed into will be stored in the ZIP file ##113 This option is used to mask the hidden, system or readonly attributes of files so that they can be treated as normal writable files. By default, these files will not be masked. When the hidden, system and readonly attribute of files are masked off, the View option will display the attribute as --w (for writable) in the attribute column. ##114 This option will display the software license agreement. ##115 This switch is used to scramble, or encrypt the files in the ZIP file. It includes password protection. When extracting the ZIP file, the files will not be extracted unless the correct password is included by ACZAR. The password is case sensitive. ##116 By default ANSI sequences are disabled. This switch enables or disables ANSI sequences. ##117 By default the ZIP file being created will be given the current time and date. By using this switch, the ZIP file date will be determined by the date of the latest file included in the ZIP file. ##118 By default the ZIP file being created will be given the current time and date. By using this switch, the current ZIP file date will be retained when the file is updated. ##119 Specifying this parameter allows you to select the compression type you desire. You can choose between \bfast\b compression algorithm, \bextra\b compression algorithm, or the \bnormal\b (default) compression. ##120 With this option, you can specify a date so that only files with a date that is equal to or more recent/older will be included in the PKZIP operation. These options \bmay\b be combined, but take care not to have them overlap or you will exclude all files. ##121 When a ZIP file is being created on a \bremovable DOS\b media device, PKZIP has permission to create a ZIP file that is larger than that single media. When a ZIP file reaches the point where it would exceed the capacity of the storage device, the user is prompted to insert another one. In the case of standard floppy disks (360K/720K/1.2M/1.44M) these disks may be formatted on-the-fly, that is, if an un-formatted disk is inserted it will be formatted before PKZIP continues to write the archive. ##122 When this option is specified, PKZIP will open files for archiving in compatibility mode, as opposed to \bsharing\b mode. On some systems this will bypass any network sharing and allow PKZIP to read files opened by other programs or applications. ##123 If you experience strange behavior when using PKUNZIP, try this option. When this option is on, PKUNZIP will use only conventional memory. Use of this switch may reveal problems or incompatibilities with your EMS driver. ##124 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##125 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything. ##126 ACZAR is ready to run the first time it will be started. It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##127 If LHA can not find any path, then it will create directories. File(s) must be archived with full-pathnames. LHA restores the entire directory structure. ##128 LHA prints FILE decompressing from the archive to standard output. ##129 Check the integrity of the archive, by CRC check. ##130 LHA ignores the checking of time stamps. ##131 This switch lets LHA assume answer \bY\b for all the queries. ##132 This switch enables LHA to archive file(s) with any attributes. ##133 LHA archives and extracts files recursively from subdirectories. \bRecursively\b means LHA searches all file(s) from all sub- directories under the specified directory if there is any. ##134 With this switch, LHA resets the time stamp of an archive according to the newest file in the archive. By default, the time stamp of an archive is the time when the archive is made. ##135 LHA makes an archive without compressing. ##136 LHA makes an archive compatible with the old LH113c format. Even in this case, LHA makes tighter compression than LH113c version 1xx. The header id is automatically set to -h1. ##137 Choice of header level, default is /h0. ##138 Recognize upper and lower cases. ##139 LHA outputs compressing indicator like this: \booooo......\b to standard error. The switch is to suppress this output. ##140 LHA outputs filenames in different formats when LHA compresses and decompresses. ##141 LHA recognizes the characters \b-\b and \b@\b as the first letter of a filename. By default, any files beginning with a \b@\b, like \b@xxx\b is recognized as a response file \bxxx\b. ##142 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##143 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything. ##144 ACZAR is ready to run the first time it will be started. It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##145 Somtimes the integrity of an archive (or any other file) is suspect, such as after transmission by modem or after physical disk damage. This switch checks all the specified files to insure that they are intact. ##146 Sometimes you may wish to change the remarks in an archive. PAK will first display the archive remark, and then display the files one at a time, and ask for the new remark for each. If you wish to keep the existing remark, simply press \bENTER\b. ##147 PAK will enable the remark at the head of an archive to be revised. If you wish to keep the existing remark, simply press \bENTER\b. ##148 This switch will enable PAK to use crunching compression algorithm. ##149 This switch will enable PAK to use crushing compression algorithm. ##150 PAK normally uses \bcrushing\b on files of less than 1,500 bytes when using \bdistilling\b. Using this switch will force PAK to use only \bdistilling\b or \bimploding\b. ##151 This switch selects only those files which are both inside the archive and outside the archive. ##152 You can encrypt your archives with a password. Files can still be listed in such archives, but they cannot be extracted without the password. ##153 Enable remarks in the archive header. ##154 Check the security envelope for the archive before any other action. ##155 This switch causes PAK to search subdirectories when adding files to an archive. ##156 PAK supports sorting of archives. This switch causes PAK to sort by date + time. ##157 PAK supports sorting of archives. This switch causes PAK to sort by extension + filename. ##158 Normally, PAK asks before replacing an existing file, either in an archive or on your disk. You can change this by using this switch to always replace existing files. ##159 Normally, PAK asks before replacing an existing file, either in an archive or on your disk. You can change this by using this switch to replace older files. ##160 Normally, the date of an archive is the last date it was altered in any way. If you use this switch, the archive date will be set to that of the most recent file in the archive. ##161 Using this switch will display the file in a hexadecimal format. ##162 This switch will enable PAK to use squashing compression algorithm. ##163 Causes PAK to enable you to add file remarks. ##164 PAK stores the full path of each file compressed except for the drive. By using this switch, you can take this information into account. ##165 PAK supports sorting of archives. This switch causes PAK to sort by filename + extension. ##166 PAK supports sorting of archives. This switch causes PAK to sort by size. ##167 PAK supports sorting of archives. This switch causes PAK \bnot\b to sort. ##168 Normally, PAK asks before replacing an existing file, either in an archive or on your disk. You can change this by using this switch to prompt before replacing existinging files (normal). ##169 Normally, PAK asks before replacing an existing file, either in an archive or on your disk. You can change this by using this switch to never replace existing files. ##170 This switch causes to pause after each page of text displayed. ##171 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##172 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything. ##173 ACZAR is ready to run the first time it will be started. It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##174 The integrity of an archive may be tested by use of this switch. This checks to make sure that all the file headers are proberly placed, and that all of the files are in good shape. This can be very useful for critical archives, where data integrity must be assured. When an archive is tested, all of the entries in the archive are unpacked without saving them anywhere so that a CRC check value may be calculated and compared with the recorded CRC value. ##175 This switch is used to convert an archive entry to take advantage of newer compression techniques. This is occasionally desirable when a new version of ARC is released. ##176 Decompress files to standard output (usually screen.) ##177 Warnings may be suppressed by use of this switch. Warnings are messages about suspected error conditions, such as when a file to be decompressed already exists, or when a decom- pressed file fails the CRC error check. You should use this switch sparingly. In fact, you should probably not use this switch at all. ##178 When ARC changes an archive it creates a new archive with the same name, but with an extension of \b.$$$\b. For example, if you add a file to an archive named \bSTUFF.ARC\b, then ARC will create a new archive named \bSTUFF.$$$\b. ARC will read from your existing archive and write out the new archive with any changes to the \b.$$$\b copy. Normally, when ARC is finished, it deletes the original and renames the new archive to the original name. For example, \bSTUFF.ARC\b goes away, and \bSTUFF.$$$\b becomes the new \bSTUFF.ARC\b. Among other things, this means that if anything goes wrong and ARC is unable to finish, then your original archive will still be intact. ##179 This option prevents any compression techniques from being employed. ##180 This switch will force ARC to overwrite any existing files during compressing or decompressing. ##181 Archive entries may be encrypted and decrypted by using this switch. ##182 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##183 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything. ##184 ACZAR is ready to run the first time it will be started. It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##185 Test the contents of the selected files for the correct CRC value. ARJ uses a 32 bit CRC to validate the contents of the files. The use of 32 bit CRCs is many times better than the use of 16 bit CRCs for the detection of errors. Use this switch to fully test the security envelope on an \bARJ-SECURED\b archive. ##186 This switch extracts one or more files from the archive to their full paths in the current directory or to the base directory if specified. ARJ normally stores pathnames as if they were children of the target directory. Any drive or root directory specifications are stripped before extracting. ##187 This switch will set ARJ to update the archive regardless of the date-time modified time stamps. ##188 By default, ARJ always stores the pathnames of the archived file. This switch will set ARJ to store only the filename component. ##189 This switch will encrypt or decrypt an archived file. ##190 Do not display the percentage progress indicator. ##191 Compress with the following methods: Method 0 = storing (no compression) Method 1 = best compression for general use (default compression method, requires 300,000 plus bytes memory) Method 2 = slightly less compression and faster (requires 282,000 plus bytes memory) Method 3 = less compression and less memory and faster (requires 250,000 plus bytes memory) Method 4 = fastest compression (requires 235,000 plus byes memory) ##192 Decompress files that do not exist in the target path. ##193 This switch will set ARJ to recurse by traversing all subdirectories. ##194 This switch is required to set ARJ into multiple volume mode. ##195 This switch is used to exlude filenames or wildnames from the list of filenames to be processed. ##196 Use this switch to suppress overwrite queries. ##197 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##198 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything. ##199 ACZAR is ready to run the first time it will be started. It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##200 Allows you to update comments attached to archived files. When prompted, you may: type a carriage return to skip the file, leaving any current comment unchanged; or type a (possibly null) comment of up to 32,767 characters terminated by \b/end\b (casesensitive) on a separate line; or type the end-of-file character (normally Control-D) to skip all remaining files. ##201 Allows you to enter the number of generations to be used. ##202 ZOO normally attempts to maintain the timestamp of an archive to reflect the age of the newest file stored in it. Should the timestamp ever be incorrect, it can be fixed with this switch. ##203 Use the high performance compression algorithm. This option may be used to gain extra compression at the expense of using somewhat more processor time. Decompressing files with this method is usually slightly faster than those saved with the default method. ##204 Add or list any file comments within the ZOO archive. ##205 Erase the back after the ZOO pack operation. ##206 Add files without any compression. ##207 Do not save extracted data but report any errors encountered. ##208 Suppress the message \bOverwrite\b? ##209 Decompress files to standard output, normally screen. ##210 Decompress all files including pathnames. ##211 Enable multiple generations. ##212 Do not display any screen output. ##213 Do not store directory information within the ZOO archive. ##214 This switch causes the stored cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for each archived file to be shown as a four-digit hexadecimal number. ##215 Only overwrite exisiting files if they already exist. ##216 Pack the ZOO archives after compressing. ##217 List the number of generations allowed. ##218 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##219 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything. ##220 ACZAR is ready to run the first time it will be started. It is NOT necessary to set any switches. This is very helpful for users who just started to manage compressed files or are new in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) world. ACZAR has been set to the default switches in order to run successfully. The poweruser most likley would like to configure his/her own settings. ACZAR gives you the power to get the most out of EACH compression type by providing to set each switch that the original compression program offers. If any changes were made other than the default settings, ACZAR saves the settings in an internal workfile for future use. ##221 Scan root directory and boot area only ##222 This switch checks all files on the drive scanned. This substantially increases the time required to scan disks, so it is recommended that this switch is only used when installing new software or if a file-infecting virus has been found. ##223 This switch logs recovery data and validation codes for .COM and .EXE files, boot sector, and partition table of a disk to a user-specified file that can be located on any drive. The size of the file is about 20K per 1,000 files validated. ##224 This switch allows the user to store recovery data and validation codes for .COM and .EXE files, boot sector, and partition table of a disk. Recovery information adds fifty-two (52) bytes to files. The recovery information for the partition table, boot sector, COMMAND.COM and system files is stored seperately in a hidden file called SCANVAL.VAL in the root directory of the drive being scanned. Recovery requires the CLEAN-UP (CLEAN.EXE) program. ##225 This switch allows the user to add validation codes to .COM and .EXE files being scanned. If the whole drive is specified, SCAN will create validation data for the partition table, boot sector, COMMAND.COM and system files and store them seperately in a hidden file called SCANVAL.VAL in the root directory of the drive being scanned. Validation adds ten (10) bytes to files; the validation data for the partition table, boot sector, and system files is stored separately in a hidden file named SCANVAL.VAL in the root directory of the scanned drive. Files which are immunized against viruses or contain self-modifying code should not have validation codes added to them. To prevent SCAN from adding validation codes to these files, a validation exception list must be created with the path and filename of each file NOT to be validated listed on each line. Only one file should be on a line. To put a comment in, start a line with the asterisk "*" character. This sample file contains a list of programs NOT to validate: *This is Nantucket Corp's database program, Clipper C:\CLIPPER\BIN\CLIPPER.EXE *This is Lotus Development Corp's spreadsheet program, 1-2-3 C:\123\123.COM *This is MS-DOS 5.00's self-modifying program, SETVER C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE *PKWare's data compression programs already perform a self-check C:\PKWARE\PKLITE.EXE C:\PKWARE\PKZIP.EXE C:\PKWARE\PKUNZIP.EXE *Stac Technologies hard disk swapping program C:\SWAPVOL.COM *Symantec's Norton Utilities V6.01 disk caching program C:\NORTON\NCACHE.EXE *WordStar Corp's word processor is self-modifying C:\WORDSTAR\WS.EXE The validation exception list should be an ASCII text file. If a word processor is used to create the list, be sure to save the file as ASCII. ##226 This switch will cause VIRUSCAN to beep each time a computer virus is found. ##227 This switch will audit a system for files that have validation codes added to them. Files that have no validation code will be reported as being uncertified by VIRUSCAN and an ERRORLEVEL of 3 will be returned after SCAN is run. ##228 This switch checks recovery data and validation codes. ##229 This switch checks the memory above 640Kb that can be used on AT (286) and 386 systems for computer viruses. This includes the 384Kb Upper Memory Area from 640Kb to 1024Kb, and the 64Kb High Memory Area from 1024Kb to 1088Kb. On XT systems with extended memory cards installed, this will cause the first 64K of RAM to be scanned again. ##230 This switch checks recovery data and validation codes. If a file or system area has changed, SCAN will report that the file or system area has been modified and a viral infection may have occurred. ##231 This switch checks validation codes. If a file or system area has been changed, SCAN will report that the file or system area has been modified and a viral infection may have occurred. It will add about 25% more time to scanning. NOTE: Some older Hewlett Packard and Zenith PC's modify the boot sector each time the system is booted. This will cause SCAN to continually notify the user of boot sector modifications if this switch is selected. Check your system's manual to determine if your system contains self-modifying boot code. ##232 This switch tells VIRUSCAN to prompt the user to overwrite and delete an infected file when one is found. A file erased by this switch cannot be recovered. If the CLEAN-UP program is available, it can be used to disinfect the file. Boot sector and partition table infectors cannot be removed by this switch and require the CLEAN-UP virus removal program. ##233 This switch stores the time and date the VIRUSCAN program was last run. This is done by changing the date on the SCANVAL.VAL file. If no such file exists, SCAN will create a 0-byte long SCANVAL.VAL file in the currently-logged directory. ##234 This switch allows the user to specify an extension or set of extensions to scan. Extensions should include a period ".". ##235 This switch allows VIRUSCAN to search for viruses from a text file containing user-defined search strings in addition to the viruses that SCAN already identifies. For instructions on how to create an external virus data file, refer to Appendix A in the McAfee SCAN manual. NOTE: This switch provides users with the ability to add strings for detection of viruses on an interim or emergency basis. This option is not for general use and should be used with caution. ##236 This switch will speed SCAN up by displaying fewer messages on the screen, skipping checking inside of LZEXE- and PKLITE-compressed files, and examining a smaller portion of files during scanning. This may reduce the accuracy of SCAN. ##237 This switch tells VIRUSCAN to output all messages in French instead of English. This switch cannot be used with the Spanish option. ##238 This switch saves a list of infected files to disk. The list is saved to disk as an ASCII text file. If a list exists, then the results of the current scan will be added to the end. ##239 This switch tells VIRUSCAN to check system memory for all known computer viruses that can inhabit memory. SCAN by default only checks memory for critical and "stealth" viruses, which are viruses which can cause catastrophic damage or spread the virus infection during the scanning process. By default, SCAN will check memory for the following viruses: 1024 1253 1554 1963 1971 2560 337 3445-Stealth 4096 512 Anthrax Antitelefonica Brain Caz CD Dark Avenger Dir-2 Doom II Empire Fish Flu-2 Form Greemlin Irish Joshi Leech Lozinsky Microbes Mirror Nomenklatura NOP No-Int (Stoned III) P1R (Phoenix) Phantom Plastique Pogue SBC Sentinel Stoned Sunday-2 SVC Taiwan3 Tequila Turbo (Polish-2) Twin-351 V2100 V2P6 Whale If one of these viruses is found in memory, SCAN will stop and tell the user to power down, and reboot the system from a virus-free system-bootable disk. This switch adds 6 to 20 seconds. NOTE: Using this switch with another anti-viral software package may result in false alarms if the other package does not remove its virus search strings from memory. ##240 This switch is used to scan hard disks partitioned with DOS 4.0 or above that have been damaged by a boot sector or partition table infecting virus. Attempts to access disks damaged in such a manner result in an "invalid media" message being displayed. This switch will only scan the partition table and boot sector, not the files. ##241 This switch is used to scan multiple diskettes placed in a given drive. If the user has more than one floppy disk to check for viruses, this switch will allow the user to check disks without having to re-run SCAN multiple times. After the system has been disinfected, this switch and \bno memory\b options can be used together to speed up the scanning of disks. ##242 This switch tells SCAN not to look inside files compressed with LZEXE, a file compression program. SCAN will still check the LZEXE-compressed files for viruses that have infected after file compression. ##243 This switch prevents Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Brk from aborting the scanning process. ##244 After seven months have passed VIRUSCAN will display a message that it may no longer be current. However, SCAN will continue to function as normal. This message can be bypassed by running SCAN with this switch. ##245 This switch is used to turn off all memory checking for viruses in order to speed up the scanning process. It should only be used when a system is known to be virus-free. ##246 This switch disables the "More? (H = Help )" prompt that is displayed when SCAN fills up a screen with messages. This allows SCAN to run on PC's with severe infections without requiring operator assistance. ##247 This switch tells SCAN not to look inside files compressed with PKLITE, a file compression program. SCAN will still check the PKLITE-compressed files for viruses that have infected after file compression. ##248 This switch saves a list of infected files to disk. The list is saved to disk as an ASCII text file. If a list exists, then it will be overwritten with the new list. ##249 This switch will remove recovery data and validation codes for files from the recovery data and validation code file. ##250 This switch will remove validation codes and recovery information from files. ##251 This switch is used to remove validation codes from a file or files. It can be used to remove the validation code from a diskette, subdirectory, or file(s). Using this switch on a disk will remove the partition table, boot sector, and system file validation. ##252 This switch displays the time and date that SCAN was last run. No virus checking is performed NOTE: When run with this switch, SCAN only displays the last run date. Viruses will *NOT* be checked for. ##253 This switch tells VIRUSCAN to output all messages in Spanish instead of English. This option can not be used with the French option. ##254 This switch scans all subdirectories inside a subdirectory. Previously, SCAN would only recursively check subdirectories if a logical device (e.g., C:) was scanned. ##255 This switch tells VIRUSCAN use the DOS critical error handler when accessing files. If SCAN accesses a file which is in use by another program, it will continue scanning instead of displaying an error message. This option requires DOS 3.10 or above. NOTE: This switch is required if you are running SCAN from a DOS session inside Windows or OS/2. ##256 This switch saves your current settings in an internal work file that ACZAR will use for all operations related to that compression type. ##257 This switch aborts setting the switches and exits this window without saving anything.
