- Q. Why does WOLFMASTER fail the upload scanning utility of my local bbs?
-
- A. Imbedded within WOLFMV11.ZIP is ALLGAMES.MAP. ALLGAMES.MAP uses the
- zip password WOLFMASTER, so when the upload scanner tries to unzip it,
- it fails. There are no files within ALLGAMES.MAP that can carry a
- virus, just DOC text files and WOLF map files.
-
- ALLGAMES.MAP is one of the best features of WOLFMASTER. It keeps the
- 2.5 megs of maps compressed to around 600K, saving each user much drive
- space. If a user accidentally unzipped this file (perhaps by using
- PKUNZIP * to unzip WOLFMV11), their wolf directory would grow to about 4
- or 5 megs. I thought this was important enough to use and keep the
- password feature of ALLGAMES.MAP.
-
- Once it has failed, most BBSs will move WOLFMV11 to a BAD directory to
- be checked later. Please inform you local sysop and ask him to look at
- this file (WHYFAILS.DOC).
