     Due to the number of requests from sysop's on "how" to set up
THD ProScan to work with their BBS programs, I am including this explanation
for setup in RA 2.00 (gamma 1), Telegard 2.7 and for T.A.G. 2.6c.
     Although it works equally well with other BBS programs, These are the
only programs which I can supply any assistance with.
     But first a multi-purpose batch file for those wishing to test numerous
files in a single directory.

                           GENERAL PURPOSE BATCH FILE
                           --------------------------
                           (See THDTERM3.ZIP as well)
DIRTEST.BAT
-----------
@ECHO OFF
CTTY CON
FOR %%F IN (%1\*.*) DO C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %%F


This will cause all files in the supplied directory to be tested. However,
be warned that only the errorlevel from the last file tested will be
returned to the calling program.
Syntax for this batch file would be C:\THDPRO\DIRTEST.BAT C:\TEST
where DIRTEST.BAT is located in "C:\THDPRO" and "C:\TEST" is the directory
containing the files to be tested.

                                  TELEGARD 2.7
                                  ------------
     Lets start from scratch..
make a dir called C:\THDPRO
change to that directory.
unzip THDpro-6 into that directory (or unarj, whatever).
run THDINSTL.EXE
answer all the questions and double check the settings on the final two
     screens as if your life depended on it's being correct.
change to your BBS directory.
type TELEGARD -K
press "P"
look at option "L".. make note of the path here
shell to dos.
go to the directory just seen in option "L".
copy THDPRO.EXE from C:\THDPRO\ to this directory.
return to TG (exit shell).
press "F"
press "A"
press "M"
press "1" (which I assume will correspond to the "ZIP" archive type)
check the first option to be sure it is marked "ACTIVE" (if not mark it
     active).
change line "#6" to read "THDPRO.EXE @F"
Press "Q" until you are back at the "WFC" screen and from their do a local
     logon.
Once logged on.. Go to the file section and list the files long enough to
     find the name of a single valid "zip" file.
now type at the menu prompt "//\\AT"
enter the name of the "zip" filename you just found using "list"
answer no to delete files question.. and No to search all dirs question.
watch the output on your side to see if the file is being scanned.

     The ONLY reason that this process (if followed EXACTLY) would not
work.. is because you have no directory listed under option "L" (as above).
IF you do not have a directory specified there, then change the "line #6"
mentioned above to include the full path "C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE @F".. DO NOT
enter this if there is a path in option "L" or the archive tester will not
be found.
     Also.. you might wish to test it from the command line as follows to be
sure that it works.
type
C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE C:\COMMAND.COM
     This will show you the scanner at work and if you do not see this type
of screen when run from TG.. then you have failed in configuring TG NOT the
fault of the scanner.
     This is FAR more detailed than I had ever hoped to have to get. Any TG
sysop should be able to accomplish this without such detail.. BUT given that
you may never have had to do this before.. Follow the instructions
EXACTLY!!!!

                                  T.A.G. 2.6c
                                  --------

     T.A.G. is very simple to set up. T.A.G. simply runs a file called
"FILETEST.BAT" (found in the main BBS directory). So to set up T.A.G. you
need only make your FILETEST.BAT read as follows...

FILETEST.BAT
------------
CTTY CON
C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %1%2.%3 {optional comport #}

This will cause all uploaded files to be tested by THDPRO.EXE in the
directory "C:\THDPRO". The "optional comport #" is for use with systems
running multi-nodes where the output is to be sent to a comport other than
the one configured directly into the program. This parameter is to be ONLY a
single digit between 0 and 8.

                      REMOTEACCESS 2.00 gamma1
                      ------------------------
Unarchive THDPRO-6.* in it's own directory.
Run "THDINSTL.EXE /NOMOVE"
     Be sure to include the "nomove" parameter so that THD ProScan will
not move or rename files which fail its various tests (This applies only to
THD ProScan Version 6 and later). Insert all necessary information as
prompted by THDINSTL.EXE. If the need arises to reconfigure THDPRO.EXE be
sure to use the "NOMOVE" parameter each and every time THDISTL is run or the
move action will be made active again.
     Note also that THDINSTL will still require input for a "Failed
directory" but no files will be moved when THDPRO.EXE is actually run.

    Setting up Raconfig:

Run raconfig and select the following menu options:

1/  System
2/  Files


The following is an example of how to fill in the upload scanning section...

Scan online  Yes
Failed scan  /unavailable/move to 998
Scan utility C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE @ *P *M

Scan Online is set to yes to allow the user to see straight away
if there are any problems with his upload.

Failed scan action is set to  mark the file as unavailable and move it
to file area 998 (an area previously decided to be a badfiles area).

Scan utility runs C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE with following parameters:

@  path and filename of file to be tested
*P com port in use
*M swap RA out of memory to give THD ProScan as much room as possible.
