╔═════════════════════════════╗ ║«« NEW FEATURES v05.19.06A »»║ ╚═════════════════════════════╝ 05-19-98: Modified Settup.bat to create "temp" directory on the local drive. 04-16-98: Modified the procedure of creating Se_util.exe to support using of Upgrade.bat file. ▄▄▄ 03-05-98: Modified UPDATE.BAT to not re-install Windows NT if current ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ 02-25-98: Modified UPDATE.BAT to create lines in WINSTART.BAT ▄▄▄ (Windows workstations only) SE_UTIL had been set to modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT with 2 lines: @IF EXIST %PCPATH%\XFER\*.DEF COPY %PCPATH%\XFER\*.DEF %PCPATH%\*.* @IF EXIST %PCPATH%\XFER\*.DEF DEL %PCPATH%\XFER\*.DEF The problem was reported that if WIN was a command as the last line in AUTOEXEC.BAT, these lines would not execute until after exiting Windows. To prevent this, modified UPDATE.BAT to write the lines to WINSTART.BAT instead. WINSTART.BAT is executed when Windows is launched. ▄▄▄ 02-18-98: Added support for FORTRESS security software in Win95 ▄▄▄ (Win95 workstations only) Added a parameter FORT to the command line for CHECK. By using FORT, it sets the %WINDIR% environment variable to the %TEMP% directory. The reason for this is typically administrators have setup FORTRESS to lock down several directories including the Windows directory; SETUP.EXE uses the Windows directory when it executes to write files but then are removed. Using the FORT parameter will allow SETUP.EXE to run by using the %temp% directory which typically or should not be restricted by Fortress security software. USAGE: [Novell-VLM clients] #command /e:1024 /c s:\css\antivir\check.bat fort [Novell-Client32 clients] @command /e:1024 /c s:\css\antivir\check.bat fort [NT] call s:\css\antivir\check.bat fort ▄▄▄ 02-12-98: Added support for "START" command in Win95 ▄▄▄ (Win95 workstations only) Added support for using "START" command to initiate the SETUP executable and wait for the process to finish and then run the login script. The issue is a timing problem where the login script continues, F-AGENT loads but SETUP.EXE has already attempted to close all programs currently running, then transfers files to the local hard drive. Since F-AGENT loaded after the open files check and before the copy process, it is unable to be up- dated. USAGE: [Novell-VLM clients] #command /e:1024 /c s:\css\antivir\check.bat sms [Novell-Client32 clients] @command /e:1024 /c s:\css\antivir\check.bat sms [NT] call s:\css\antivir\check.bat sms ▄▄▄ 02-06-98: Added support for login scripts that delete the drive mapping ▄▄▄ (Win95 workstations only) Added support for administrators who delete the drive mapping for clients logging in to do the update using CHECK.BAT or CHECK2.BAT in the login script. To take advantage of this feature, add the parameter COPY to the execution for CHECK.BAT. The way it works is it copies files to the local machine and runs SETUP.EXE from the workstation rather than the server. The problem before is the SETUP.EXE was executed from the server and then the login script would continue. If the mapped drive was removed before setup could complete it would error. Examples of usage for this new feature: [Novell-VLM clients] #command /e:1024 /c s:\css\antivir\check.bat copy [Novell-Client32 clients] @command /e:1024 /c s:\css\antivir\check.bat copy [NT] call s:\css\antivir\check.bat copy ▄▄▄ 02-02-98: Improved the mechanism of updating the MACRO.DEF ▄▄▄ By transferring the file to a subdirectory called XFER and not attempting to overwrite the file in use, this eliminates the "access denied" error. The files are moved from the XFER directory via a modification to the autoexec.bat file which copies macro.def to the correct product directory. ▄▄▄ 01-29-98: Added support uninstalling Command AntiVirus for DOS/Win ▄▄▄ Modified DELINE.BAT to remove the new entries in the WIN.INI & SYSTEM.INI. ▄▄▄ 01-28-98: Added support for Command AntiVirus for DOS/Win3.1x ▄▄▄ This new product required an overhaul with SE_UTIL with regard to the install and specific configuration files. ▄▄▄ 01-26-98: SE_UTIL now compatible with directory structure of F-AGENT ▄▄▄ The Win95/WinNT versions of Command AntiVirus use F-AGENT to poll for updates in a specified directory and also support full installs from a subdirectory named "SETUP". Full file installations now require using the directory called SETUP (See SE_UTIL.DOC for updated information on product placement on the shared network directory). ▄▄▄ 01-26-98: Adjusted SE_UTIL for new product name COMMAND ANTIVIRUS ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ 12-30-97: Added support to update SIGN.DEF ▄▄▄ Now have the capability to copy newer SIGN.DEF file into the product directories on server (FPW, FPWNT, FPW95) and the new SIGN.DEF file will be copied to the local hdd. ▄▄▄ 12-02-97: NEW FILE - TEST.BAT ▄▄▄ Use to see errorlevel return code of DISKSP.EXE - one customer indicated a problem with 2 Gb hdd and DISKSP returning an invalid return code. Use this file to identify the return code given when running DISKSP.EXE. DISKSP is used by UPDATE.BAT to determine if enough hdd space is available before installing. ▄▄▄ 12-02-97: BUGFIX - removed PCPATH variable duplicate setting ▄▄▄ If LAN Admin modified the TargetPath variable in SETUP.INI, a modification is also required for the variable PCPATH in UPDATE.BAT. The variable was erroneously reset to the default further down in the code, undoing the initial setting at the beginning of UPDATE.BAT. ▄▄▄ 11-04-97: BUGFIX - corrected wrong software version install ▄▄▄ Code was jumping to wrong subroutine, causing installation of wrong OS version for Win95/WinNT installations. ▄▄▄ 11-04-97: Subtle change to OS detection ▄▄▄ Added syntax to display OS detected in CHECK.BAT. ▄▄▄ 10-17-97: Corrected bug DETERMINING NT/WIN3X version ▄▄▄ A change in the way CHECK.BAT was capturing the files in opsys.txt created an error for Windows NT stations. The file NTLDR had a hidden attribute and was not being captured into OPSYS.TXT. ▄▄▄ 10-16-97: Corrected bug re:interactive installation (10-15) ▄▄▄ Code was in the wrong location, forcing an installation everytime. (oops) ▄▄▄ 10-15-97: Added support for "interactive installation" ▄▄▄ CHECK.BAT supports the commandline parameter ASK such that if you have the following command in your login script- #command /e:1024 /c f:\css\antivir\check.bat ask It will ask the user if they want to update. This is for connections from a dial-up connection. ▄▄▄ 10-03-97: Added support for DIRCMD env variable setting - UPGRADE.BAT ▄▄▄ If the environment variable DIRCMD was set to /o/p it affected the working of UPGRADE.BAT. Made allowances to set dircmd to nul value, then reset at end to original value. ▄▄▄ 09-18-97: Corrected intermediate file error during pipe ▄▄▄ Incorrect syntax in UPDATE.BAT gave this error. The problem was a misuse of the TYPE statement output to the TEMP environment variable and also using FIND to check for the value. [original / :inst_proc section] TYPE %1\setup.ini> %TEMP%\DUMFILE.DUM | FIND "SetupType=Default" /I %1\setup.ini [modified] FIND "SetupType=Default" /I %1\setup.ini > %TEMP%\DUMFILE.DUM ▄▄▄ 09-16-97: Added correct path to copy new MACRO.DEF for FNT ▄▄▄ Added the path for DVP's use of MACRO.DEF in Windows NT version of F-PROT. :nt_macopy copy %1\macro.def %wndo%\system32\drivers\macro.def ▄▄▄ 09-16-97: various syntax errors corrected in UPDATE.BAT ▄▄▄ Mainly with other variable value checks and use of single quotation marks (see listing for 9-10-97). ▄▄▄ 09-10-97: BUGFIX corrected "syntax error" ▄▄▄ There was a syntax error in the CHECK.BAT file [original] :tempdirxist if not %temp% == '' goto ch_temp [fixed] :tempdirxist if not '%temp%' == '' goto ch_temp ▄▄▄ 09-10-97: (NON)FEATURE removed checking UPDATE directory (FPWUD etc) ▄▄▄ This directory was not being used by the code so references of it were removed from UPDATE.BAT. ▄▄▄ 09-09-97: (NON)FEATURE removed scan on update for F95/FNT ▄▄▄ Many customers asked how to disable the memory scan for udpates. The scan for viruses prior to installing was initially for the F31 platform and expanded to include F95 and FNT installations; it is redundant since this is occurring for these platforms already by the installation and also by virtue of the device drivers. ▄▄▄ 08-28-97: BUGFIX corrected deletion of files (too soon) ▄▄▄ Customer reported a potential bug where the end of the UPDATE.BAT removes non- essential files from the installation directory. Corrected this to remove them only after detecting current version already installed. ▄▄▄ 08-28-97: FEATURE MACRO.DEF update file notification ▄▄▄ Added an echo statement to identify when new signatures were updated. ▄▄▄ 08-22-97: BUGFIX "bad command or filename" running DELINE ▄▄▄ One of the steps in backing up the WIN.INI file before removing the load=c:\f-prot\a-prot (etc) data was invalid. This was corrected; there were three syntax problems with DELINE.BAT which have now been corrected. ▄▄▄ 08-22-97: FEATURE added support for installing to "not the root" ▄▄▄ Many requests were made to allow installing to places other than the root of the server drive. ▄▄▄ 08-15-97: BUGFIX NT 3.51 emulating MS-DOS Version 5.00 ▄▄▄ Modified/corrected method used to identify operating system when using CHECK2.BAT; added detection for file in root directory called NTLDR indica- ting a Windows NT installation. ▄▄▄ 08-08-97: BUGFIX creating directory on new install FPW ▄▄▄ Some computers do not recognize the NUL device; SE_UTIL was checking for the NUL device to detect existance of directory but never met condition. Removed reference for NUL device when creating directory for installation. ▄▄▄ 08-05-97: Added support to update MACRO.DEF ▄▄▄ Now have the capability to simply copy newer MACRO.DEF file into the product directories on server (FPW, FPWNT, FPW95) and the new MACRO.DEF file will be copied to the local hdd. ▄▄▄ 08-04-97: BUGFIX not creating directory on new installs of FPW ▄▄▄ A customer reported not having F-PROT directory and getting error messages. Added checking for NUL device which can help identify existance of directories. ▄▄▄ 08-04-97: Modification made to SE_UTIL.DOC ▄▄▄ Added documentation to support using SE_UTIL with v3.0 FNT. ▄▄▄ 07-30-97: Enhancement: Support added for v3.0 FNT ▄▄▄ A silent installation for FNT-00C.EXE and higher is possible with use of the batch file created from SETUP NETADMIN. The batch file LSILENT.BAT can be run within UPDATE.BAT. Edit UPDATE.BAT and locate "fpwntset" :fpwntset %1\setup.exe rem support for v3.0 / 2.27.2 FPWNT rem rem call %1\lsilent.bat Remark the line that runs %1\setup.exe and un-remark lsilent.bat. Also, you may get an error indicating the source files for the os directory were not found. This means the SIGN.DEF files aren't in the FPWNT directory. Install FNT to the local drive and copy SIGN.DEF to the FPWNT directory. ▄▄▄ 07-30-97: Enhancement: More descriptive message on install ▄▄▄ Identified a problem when installing on Win95/WinNT where the install would re-occur even if the product is installed in a different directory than the default installation directory ("c:\program files\command software\f-prot95" or "c:\program files\command software\f-protnt"). A message is now displayed indicating the SIGN.DEF could not be found in the search path, which is also displayed (for a short period of time). ▄▄▄ 07-16-97: Corrected BLANK directory output on newer f-prot found ▄▄▄ The UPDATE.BAT incorrectly was using an environment variable %FPCPDIR% instead of %PCPATH%. ▄▄▄ 07-16-97: Corrected "bad command or filename" ▄▄▄ Remarked the "START /W /MAX" command to launch setup for Win95 stations and simply used another line to initiate the SETUP command. A customer reported the anomaly after indicating they had a file called STARTUP.BAT and it was being spawned erroneously. ▄▄▄ 07-09-97: Fixed DVPLOAD errors in Win95 installations ▄▄▄ Many customers reported DVPLOAD errors after using SE_UTIL to update the work- stations to 2.27.1 from 2.26. The first error would be "Error-1 getting version information." and the next error would be "Error disabling ring-3 callback." The error was caused when the SETUP attempted to close F-PROT programs not yet loaded into memory, the login script continued, the startup group ran, then files were copied to the workstation but 5 files loaded into memory and could not be updated. The were left behind as their original filename and the new files were copied as *.1 files. The correction was to add syntax to the line to initiate SETUP.EXE SETUP.EXE -SMS This held the SETUP application open long enough to copy the files before the login script finished and the startup group runs, in addition to deleting the *.1 files left over. ▄▄▄ 07-02-97: Fixed invalid (leftover) syntax in CHECK.BAT ▄▄▄ During testing mode, some debug syntax was incidentally left in CHECK.BAT and has been removed. ▄▄▄ 07-02-97: Feature added choice to configure DOS/Win31x options ▄▄▄ Previous versions of SE_UTIL automatically started SECONFIG.BAT to configure the DOS/Windows 3.1x F-PROT installation options; a choice has been added, either Y or N (must press number 7 key to run configuration utility). ▄▄▄ 07-01-97: Corrected syntax in variable comparisons ▄▄▄ Modified UPDATE.BAT from '%4%' == to '%4' == and other modifications similar to this were necessary because of erratic behavior on WinNT stations. ▄▄▄ 06-27-97: Fixed incorrect install Win31 fp on WinNT station ▄▄▄ During a login to Novell NetWare from an NT workstation, the login script file LMSCRIPT or NWSCRIPT emulates a DOS 5.0 environment and was incorrectly iden- tified during login by SE_UTIL. Now, SE_UTIL checks for a file NTLDR in the root directory after checking for NT, 95 & OS/2 environments first. ▄▄▄ 06-26-97: BUGFIX corrected bad command or filename FP32UP.EXE ▄▄▄ Modified UPDATE.BAT to use SETUP.EXE and not FP32UP.EXE. ▄▄▄ 06-26-97: BUGFIX corrected "source files of os directory missing" ▄▄▄ One customer had this error which indicated the product directory and or files were missing, but weren't. Removed the SET PCFIL=SIGN.DEF setting and renamed %pcfil% to sign.def in UPDATE.BAT. ▄▄▄ 06-25-97: BUGFIX corrected missing label ▄▄▄ Typo in INSTALL.BAT caused a "missing label" error; happened if updating from older version of SE_UTIL to more current. ▄▄▄ 06-23-97: BUGFIX eliminated erroneous out of environment error ▄▄▄ Typo in CHECK.BAT caused an invalid response of "out of environment space". ▄▄▄ 06-05-97: FEATURE "check noicon" prevents creating groups ▄▄▄ For DOS/Windows clients, support for NOT creating program groups and icons is now available. In the login script, specify the following syntax as applicable #command /e:1024 /c f:\css\antivir\check.bat noicon This will only install DVP to the Windows 3.1x environment without creating program groups and icons. ▄▄▄ 06-05-97: BUGFIX eliminated INTERMEDIATE PIPE ERROR ▄▄▄ Temp directory checking was implemented; if directory not exist create it. If variable not set, set it, then create directory. ▄▄▄ 05-13-97: Changed SE_UTIL to use SIGN.DEF file instead of README.TXT ▄▄▄ Instead of using a user-modifiable file, now use SIGN.DEF to compare version information. This will prevent "false-positive" update detection. ▄▄▄ 04-04-97: Fixed attempt to scan B.S. of MBR on "preupdate scan" for NT ▄▄▄ Modified the pre-update scan for UPDATE.BAT to not scan the B.S. of an NT work- station during the "pre-update scan" process before an update. ▄▄▄ 03-21-97: BUGFIX corrected if '%WNDO%' == 'notfound' goto PROC_UP ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ 03-01-97: Added support for FP32UP.EXE update utility ▄▄▄ The FP32UP.EXE file will update the workstation without interaction from the user. The files it will update are kept in FP32UP.INI file. This file set is found in (currently) F95-PAT2.EXE and will be ported to FNT-PAT#.EXE as needed. The directories under ..\css\antivir are \FPW Full product file set \FPW95 Full product file set \FPW95UD Update files (F95-PAT2.EXE or equivalent) \FPWNT Full product file set \FPWNTUD Update files (FNT-PAT2.EXE or equivalent) After some conversion of the 16bit product, it will have support for an Update file set, and will have the directory \FPWUD Update files (F31-PAT2.EXE or equivalent) ▄▄▄ 02-27-97: Added no-interaction ability for DELINE.BAT for login script ▄▄▄ A request was made to pass a parameter into DELINE for use with a login script de-installation. example: DELINE 95 DELINE NT DELINE DW If no parameter is passed, it is user interactive. The Win95 & WinNT still confirm removing the directories and there is not a workaround as of yet for this. ▄▄▄ 02-27-97: Now only scans memory on an update condition ▄▄▄ A request was made to not scan memory everytime, but to only do it when an update was performed. This will save a few seconds on the login process. ▄▄▄ 02-24-97: corrected attempt to install Win rt prot. if cond. not met ▄▄▄ If SE_UTIL was unable to locate the Windows directory, it would delete spe- cific portions of the update files. Also, it would attempt to install DVP, which isn't correct. This has been adjusted. ▄▄▄ 02-20-97: added ability to specify install directory for FP-DOS/WIN ▄▄▄ Edit SETEM.BAT to change SET PCPATH=C:\F-PROT to other value. The program group will not be created if the default directory is not used. ▄▄▄ 02-19-97: corrected "LABEL not found ▄▄▄ Some systems acknowledged the batch formatting of labels followed by format characters such as "==" signs. One customer reported a "LABEL not found condition, and removing the equal signs helped. An example of the previous format was :====== label_example ====== which has been corrected to view as :label_example ====== ▄▄▄ 02-19-97: corrected SECONFIG logic bug ▄▄▄ If System Admin selects to not put VIRSTOP & NOVCAST in the autoexec but selected WVirstop Windows Real-Time protection, WVirstop would or could not load. WVirstop is dependent on use of VIRSTOP, so the modi- fication was to disallow (not putting VIRSTOP/NOVCAST in autoexec) & (selecting WVirstop). ▄▄▄ 02-19-97: removed reference to use of NUL device for WinNT users ▄▄▄ Modified the SETTUP.BAT & INSTALL.BAT to not echo strings to the NUL device to eliminate the errors viewed on screen. The errors were insig- nificant but did promote questions about their validity. ▄▄▄ 02-03-97: CORRECTED SETEM.BAT/SECONFIG.BAT syntax bug ▄▄▄ SECONFIG was modified to allow/disallow copying down the integrity checker but a syntax error in SECONFIG caused SETEM to be incorrectly set. Specifically the MKWNS variable was incorrectly removed from SETEM which might have resulted in creation of a WINSTART.BAT file where this may not have been desired. ▄▄▄ 01-29-97: CORRECTED VERSREAD not found in UPGRADE\README.BAT ▄▄▄ The readme.bat had a typo that referenced an invalid name to be redirected to the printer. ▄▄▄ 01-28-97: CORRECTED missing label error ▄▄▄ If VNTSR == N condition met, attempt to jump to label BACKUP in UPDATE.BAT was corrected to read GOTO BACK_UP instead. ▄▄▄ 01-23-97: modified CSSFIND.EXE to compare time/date stamp ▄▄▄ Previous to v3.01.23 SE_UTIL, if a laptop with a newer version installed connected to the network, but an older copy resided on the network, it would overwrite the installed copy. Now CSSFIND actually compares the time/date of the readme files for a more realistic version check. ▄▄▄ 01-07-97: corrected SECONFIG.BAT display output ▄▄▄ If TSR selected but not FP scan, you are not asked where to place the FP scan line at beginning or end. Same goes for TSR; if not TSR but yes to FP scan,it won't ask where to put the TSR line at beginning or end of AUTOEXEC.BAT. ▄▄▄ 11-26-96: reformatted SE_UTIL.DOC to not include strikeouts/revisions ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ 11-14-96: DELINE.BAT works for Win95 / WinNT deinstall ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ 11-14-96: Stopped the 'hang' problem with NT login scripts ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ 11-14-96: SECONFIG.BAT configuration on SE_UTIL installation ▄▄▄ On installing SE_UTIL to the server, you can now configure it to peform the features desired: 1) Add VIRSTOP & NOVCAST to AUTOEXEC.BAT 2) Add F-PROT scan to AUTOEXEC.BAT 3) LOAD TSR & RUN F-PROT at beginning or end of AUTOEXEC.BAT 4) Install F-PROT if not previously installed 5) Preferred Windows Real-Time Protection 6) Reboot PC's After updating TSR's 7) Create WINSTART.BAT 8) Reset DVP to default SECONFIG.BAT can be run later to reconfigure these options, which are kept in a batch file called SETEM.BAT. ▄▄▄ 10-24-96: FPROTZZZ.GRP F-PROT Professional Group file ▄▄▄ If a client was installing F-PROT Professional for the first time, when Windows started, they would be prompted for a Group to place F-PROT into. With the inclusion of this .grp file, there is no longer a prompt and the application icons are created 'preset' into this group file and it is copied into the Windows directory, and the PROGMAN.INI file is modified. ▄▄▄ 10-21-96: TSR.INI, TSR2.INI & SCAN.INI replace need for UPDATE2.BAK ▄▄▄ There is no longer an UPDATE2.BAT or UPDATE2.BAK file; only CHECK & UPDATE. UPDATE.BAT uses these small ASCII text files to append to the AUTOEXEC.BAT the lines to run the TSR's and also the F-PROT scan. By default, the .INI files are appended to the AUTOEXEC.BAT; if desired to place the lines in beginning, edit UPDATE.BAT and search for ADMINQ section and use correct 'COPY' command. ▄▄▄ 10-01-96: UPDATE2.BAK places F-PROT TSR's in beginning of autoexec.bat ▄▄▄ There has been demand for a method to place the lines added to the autoexec.bat to the beginning and not the end. This can be done by renaming the UPDATE2.BAT to UPDATE2.OLD, then renaming UPDATE2.BAK to UPDATE2.BAT. ▄▄▄ 9-11-96: CHECK.BAT no longer requires operating system batch files ▄▄▄ In previous versions of SE_UTIL, CHECK.BAT would run VER and redirect the output to a file, C:\VERSION.BAT and then run C:\VERSION.BAT. By doing that it would spawn either WINDOWS.BAT, MS-DOS.BAT or other operating system batch files. SE_UTIL now uses a different technique to accomplish this. By identifying string values in the C:\VERSION.BAT and comparing them to known values, the proper platform of F-PROT Professional could be directed to the workstation. ▄▄▄ 9-11-96: CHECK.BAT is now compatible with NT LOGIN SCRIPTS ▄▄▄ In previous versions of SE_UTIL, an NT login script would hang, or wait for the user to press the CANCEL button. This is no longer the case. It was found that if a change of drive was issued (i.e. S:, C:) this caused the problem. With a little work, these change of drive commands have been removed. ▄▄▄ 8-15-96: DELINE.BAT ▄▄▄ This batch file can be used to 'deinstall' f-prot for DOS/Win3.x. By deinstall, we mean remove lines added to AUTOEXEC.BAT and WINSTART.BAT by the SE_UTIL operation. DELINE.BAT is located in UPGRADE directory. DELINE.BAT will remove from the AUTOEXEC.BAT and WINSTART.BAT (if applicable) five lines added by UPDATE2.BAT which include C:\F-PROT\VIRSTOP /WARM /BOOT /NOCOPY /NOTRACE /DISK C:\F-PROT\NOVCAST /USER=SUPERVISOR echo Checking time/date stamp echo Scanning Hard Drive. Please Wait.... C:\F-PROT\F-PROT /HARD /NODOC /TODAY It also removes a 'tag file' called NOCHECK placed in the root directory of the local drive. This file is used to determine if a modification is needed to the AUTOEXEC.BAT and WINSTART.BAT (if applicable).
