HISTORY.DOC : Lewis Huang, Singapore : CHECKZIP v1.01 9th January 1991
============================================================================
A little bit of history:
------------------------
My name is Stewart Buckingham (I wrote the docs and beta tested CheckZip to
death). I run a bbs called PCB-SiG in Singapore. Lewis Huang, my good friend
and brilliant programmer saw me struggling with the archive virus testing
shells that were presently available and offered to write me a program to
handle the testing of files uploaded to my bbs. Little did he know what he
was letting himself in for! His first offering overcame the main limitation
of the existing testers and enabled the smooth handling of nested archives
and virus scanning recursive subdirectories. Then came the long stream of
'improvements' from me which has resulted in CheckZip. For Lewis's undying
efforts I am eternally grateful.
14th Oct 90 - Original Release
9th Jan 91 - Version 1.01
- fixed timestamp so that blank line in CHECKZIP.CFG will
always check the ZIP files
- added note to docs that the seconds in timestamp must
always be an even number between 00 and 60 (Dos limitation)
- fixed timestamp writing original time to file when PKZIP -O
option was used. Now uses the latest rezipped date.
- allows specify wildcard file extraction in CFG file to
enable extraction only files that SCAN will test. WARNING:
if Wildcard file extraction is used CFG lines 4 & 5 must be
left blank.
