AC Version 2.0
AC version 2.0 has incorporated many new features.
GIF file processing:
Gif files found in processing will now have resolution data saved to
a text file ACGIFS.LOG. AC tests all .GIF files now and verifies they
have valid Header information and internal color maps etc. GIFLITE'd
GIFs will pass. GIF's imbedded inside of of an archive will have the
PARENT file name as the first entry in the logfile.
Color Option:
AC will now show COLOR on the local screen while processing. This
includes local color screens while in "interactive mode" (comm support).
Added /x command line switch:
Disable color mode above. /X implies Monochrome operation.
Added New *.* for files to test:
Previous versions of AC required you enter the file extensions you wanted
to test such as *.exe *.com *.ovr *.ovl etc. You may now place a
*.* on line 6 of the config file and AC will test ALL files in every
archive including such files as *.doc *.txt etc extensions for viri.
Added a /o command switch:
Due to the size of the log file AC created in the past, scanning that
log file for some users was more than they wanted. Adding a /o switch
will only log BAD files. This will keep the log file to a small size
(usually unless you get alot of bad files).
Added /K as a command line option:
The /K switch will automatically invokes the /o option above. After
the archive is tested, instead of a log file entry, an abbreviated form
of the report will be appended to the normal comment file IN THE archive.
Included in this comment will be the version of AC, version of SCAN,
the archiver used to test the archive, the time and date of the testing
and the virus test results. This will apply to ZIP, PAK, ARC and SDN files.
ARJ file have a limited comment header size and therefore are excluded from
this commenting as are LZH files.
Added /? as a command line option:
Forget the command line switches? Just use /? and AC will list them.
Recursive archives:
AC will now unarchive all nested archives it can find. (Zip files within
ZIP files inside an ARC file etc). Each will be extracted and tested for
viri.
Limits on Number of files to process elimnated:
Previously there was a limit of 255 files AC could process in one directory.
There is NO limit now and AC will continue to process until all files
including nested archives until AC finishes or you run out of Hard Drive
space, which ever comes first.
New "JAIL" feature:
AC will now move bad files it can find, either virus infected files
or corrupted archives. These files will be renamed with a file extension
of .BAD and immediately moved to the root directory of the current drive.
Since PAK does not return an errorlevel with bad or corrupt archives
PAK, Ay-Ar-Cee, and SDN will only be moved if they contain a virus.
Self Extractor archives:
AC will now handle all major archive formats when it encounters them,
including ZIP, PAK, LHA (new LHA and old LHARC formats) and ARJ files
that are self extracting, even if recursed or imbedded.
