(We frequently refer to Integrity Master by its nickname, "IM")
Once you install Integrity Master, there will be only two files you
absolutely need to use Integrity Master:
IM.EXE - Integrity Master itself
IM.PRM - The parameter file which controls how IM works
- This file is created by SETUPIM.EXE
If you want to reinstall IM, or change advanced features of IM, you will need:
SETUPIM.EXE - The setup and install program (It creates and updates IM.PRM)
If you use IM under Windows, you will also need to keep the *.PIF files.
When you install IM, SetupIM will create file:
IMPROC.TXT - Complete instructions to finish install and run IM
IM.PRM - The parameter file (all option settings are stored here)
IMCONFIG.SYS - Sample CONFIG.SYS file for floppies (optional)
When you run (initialize) IM, it will create integrity data files. These
files will be called "ZZ##.IM" unless you use SetupIM to select a new
name. These files contain the integrity data describing your files. Files:
BOOT.SRL and PART.SRL contain system sector integrity and reload information.
(*.SID files are no longer needed.)
The following files are provided as additional aids but are not required
to use or modify Integrity Master:

We're also including the following batch file to make IM easier to use
and to serve as examples for constructing your own batch files:
IMSCAN This batch file allows you to virus scan all files on an
entire disk or a specific directory on a disk and all
lower subdirectories. For example, to scan files on disk
C, type "IMSCAN C:" or to scan subdirectory DOS and all
lower directories (e.g., \DOS\UTILS) type "IMSCAN \DOS".
If you don't want to check memory each time include a
"/B" (e.g., "IMSCAN \DOS /B"
IMSCAND This allows you to scan a specific subdirectory. You can
specify just the subdirectory or both the subdirectory
and the disk (e.g., "IMSCAND C:\PCB\UPLOADS").
IMSCANM Allows you to scan multiple diskettes for known viruses.
After each diskette, IM will prompt you to insert
another.
IMQ Does a check in "Quick Update" mode of your current
disk. This scans memory and the system sectors for known
viruses and then checks only the files that have
changed, providing a very fast way to check an entire
disk for known viruses. This also keeps your integrity
data current for all files so you are up-to-date in case
of a problem. If you want to specify a different disk to
check, you must use the "/Dx" command line switch (e.g.,
"IMQ /DCF" will check both drive C and drive F).

THE LATEST CHANGES:
If you have been using a prior release of Integrity Master, please read
the HISTORY.DOC file to see what has changed since your version.
IM now supports a Home directory where the autonamed report files as
well as the system sector and CMOS related files will be stored.
IM can now write clean self-checking boot sectors into your hard
disk's partition sector or floppy boot sectors. This allows IM to
rapidly clean infected diskettes.
IM offers several new command line options:
"/CM" Check resident programs and mem
