- ViPTRADER v1.00
- -----------------
-
- There are quite a few programs out there that have the same purpose as
- ViPTRADER. The diffrences however are that those programs are not very
- good and noone really cares about them or updates them. As I have a good
- use for ViPTrader by myselfe I will for sure care about it and fix bugs
- etc.
- In ViPTrader are also some options that aren't included in any other kind of
- programs like this.
-
- INSTRUCTIONS
- -------------
-
- First of all you should include the directory of VIPTRADER in your PATH, so
- that you can just go into the dir with all your ZIPs and then call trader.exe.
- Put this string in your autoexec.bat
- PATH=C:\VIPTRADE
- If you choose to install it somewhere else you have to change that string
- accordingly to that.
-
- Here a list of all the options:
-
-
- CONFIGURE SETTINGS:
-
- Diz-String - Enter the string that will be added to every FILE_ID.DIZ in every
- ZIP File. (e.g.: -=Traded by FATAL!=-
-
- 1st AddFile - Enter the path-name for a file you want to add to every ZIP File.
- (e.g.: Intros, Adds etc.) 2nd and 3rd should be self explaining.
- Be sure it is a valide filename, otherwise it won't work. I mean
- a VALIDE DOS-Filename, so no '-' as first char of the name etc.
-
- ASCii - Give the path of an ASCII File that will be added as a Zip-Comment
- to every Zip-File.
-
- Maximize Zip - Depends what is packed but normaly it should make the Zip-File
- bigger so it will give you more credz when you UL it to your
- favorite BBS. (Just for LAMERZ!)
-
- 1st VirScanner - Enter the path of a VirScanner. Be sure to go in the Advanced
- Settings to choose which VirScanner is used in this option.
- Supported Scanners are:
- -MacAffee Scan (from at least v223 to v230, I expect newer
- ones to work also!)
- -F-PROT (from at least v2.21, earlier Ver. should also work)
-
- 2nd VirScanner works the same way.
-
- Bad Zips - You may enter a path here were to move corrupted Zip Archives.
- If you enter nothing Zips won't be tested for being corrupted.
- However no garuentee if some of the other options won't work when
- you for example try to maximize a bad ZIP-File later.
-
- Infected Zips - The path were to move Zips that are found to be infected by a
- virus. You SHOULD really give this when using a virscanner.
-
- Date Sort - This will sort all Zips after the date they were created and puts
- them in the a dir named after the date.
-
- Sort-Path - The path were the new dirs for the DateSort will be created and
- the Zip files moved into.
-
- ADVANCED SETTING:
-
- Make File_ID List - It will create the file dizlist.dir and takes the
- description out of each File_ID.DIZ. If you try to run this
- when the DIZLIST.DIR already exists it will tell you that
- the file already exists and you have to move or delete it,
- So that you don't delete any older File-Lists.
-
- Kick Files from List - Create the File KICKFILE.LST in your ViPTrader dir. In
- that file you can write file-names of files you want to
- be removed out of every ZIpFile. Please use one name for
- each line only. Make sure only valide DOS-Filenames.
- e.g.: TEST.EXE
- INTRO.COM
- ADD.ANS
-
- Auto Intro-Remover 1 - First of all run the program GET_CRC.EXE on a directory
- where you have all files that you would like to be
- removed from any ZIP-Files. The Program gets the CRC-32
- and stores it in the file 'intro.dat'. This file needs
- to be moved to the dir in which VipTrader is installed.
- I included already some intros in the included file
- 'intro.dat' that you get after installing the program.
- If you just want to add some files to it and keep the
- ones I included just copy the file into the dir with the
- files you want to add to the list and run GET_CRC.EXE.
- THen the new CRCs will be added and you can copy the new
- file over the old one in ya ViPTrader Dir later.
-
- Auto Intro-Remover 2 - This will extract all exe and com files that are smaller
- then 80000kb and scan them if they are a TheDraw file or
- if they include a HSC file that most intros use for
- their music. In most cases it should work. If the file
- includes one it will be identified as an intro and
- removed.
-
-
- FUTUR OPTIONS
- --------------
- Well I don't want to give too many hinds to any other coders so that they bring
- out the same kind of program a week before me, but some minor options are here.
-
- -More VirusScanner
- -Date Sort by real release Date or ZipDate (Choosable)
- -Speed up some things
- -Intro Identification of unknown intros in a very improved way
- -Compatible with ARJ,LZH and all those other archives as well
-
-
- Watch out for an add-on which will include an INTRO.DAT file with CRCs of
- about 500 intros, which I will release pretty soon.
