- VScan (C)1989 - 1991 Arthur Hagen - H I S T O R Y
- =====================================================
-
-
- 1.0 - 4.99: Ancient history - see Encyclopedia Galactica
-
- 5.00: Five new file viruses added: Finds and removes the CCCP
- virus from both memory and files. Finds the Revenge of the
- Lamer virus versions II and III in files. Finds and re-
- moves the Travelling Jack virus in files. Kills and pro-
- tects against the Terrorist file virus.
-
- 5.01 - 5.02: Internal versions only!
-
- 5.03: Works with the A3000(!). Recognizes ZKick 2.30. No longer
- reports some odd files as (C) Steve Tibbett. Sorry, Steve!
- Two new crunchers added (TurboImploder 3.1 and PowerPacker
- 3.0a). Will now handle overlayed programs correctly. Will
- recognize saved bootblocks. Analyze mode much improved.
- Works for files larger than 1Mb. Some other bugfixes.
-
- 5.04: Nothing much, just added the Centurion file virus (yawn).
-
- 5.05: *** WARNING *** This is a bogus version not made by myself!
- Avoid this one at all costs!
-
- 5.06: New keyword: FastInstall / InstallFast. This will of
- course install a FastFileSystem bootblock, and works just
- as the BootInstall option. VirusTest Trojan recognized.
- Some minor cosmetic changes.
-
- 5.09: Recognizes newer ZKicks and RAD properly. Better memory
- handling routines. Program now reports "VScan has been
- corrupted" if VScan has been virus-infected, crunched or
- similar. Better Analyze reports. All boot routines now
- work with 2.0 bootblocks, and Fastinstall/Bootinstall now
- installs a 2.0 bootblock instead of a 1.2/1.3 bootblock.
- Two new file viruses added...
-
- 5.10: Works with csh. 5.09 would report "VScan has been corrup-
- ted"; this was in fact due to a bug in csh (it doesn't pass
- all 68000 registers properly), but nevertheless a problem
- that many reported. Also modified the Analyze bit a bit.
-
- 5.11: Added [NoRequest] flag. VScan can now be run from scripts
- without popping up requesters. More relaxed "corrupt" mes-
- sages, although VScan will alert if it find a crunched or
- renamed version of itself (for your security - even VScan
- could be infected with a virus. Somewhat faster code.
-
- 5.12: Fixed several bugs... :-( Splitted the [deep|deeper] key-
- word to [deep|deeper|deepest], and rewrote some parts.
- Added yet another filevirus or two.
