- What's New?
-
-
- Shez Show 1.5 7/11/94
-
- Archive renamed SHEZSH15.ZIP for this change. Documented the Fast Move
- command hidden in the RENAME (and RENAME TAGGED) options.
-
- Corrected several sample SHEZ.INI entries adding the $CD to $CP and
- adding the $ED to the $EP. If you tried to scan from A:\ (extract path)
- after loading Shez from C:, the resulting scan was on C:\!!!
-
- ----------
-
- Shez Show 1.4 6/30/94
-
- Archive renamed SHEZSH14.ZIP for this change. McAfee Assts. just
- released their SCAN 2.1.0 (Release Candidate) virus scanner. This update
- changes the switches for SCAN2 by adding /ALL (See SHEZSET.TXT).
-
- ----------
-
- Shez Show 1.3b 6/27/94
-
- The archive was not renamed for this change. Changed the order of the
- F-Prot options that are ECHOed (See SHEZSET.TXT). Corrected a little
- wording in the SHEZSET.TXT file. Resaved all the files in this archive
- with the 6/27/94 date.
-
- ----------
-
- Shez Show 1.3a 6/20/94
-
- The archive was not renamed for this change. A small amount of
- information about some differences in F-Prot virus scanner and about
- some differences in ThunderBYTE virus scanner was added to the
- SHEZSET.TXT file. If you use either of these viri scanners, you should
- read this information as it affects the 'Quality' of the virus scanning
- process.
-
- ----------
-
- Shez Show 1.3 6/8/94
-
- a) Now virus scanning is better than ever in Shez.
-
- I revised the SHEZSET.BAT file that creates the SHEZSCAN.BAT file. It
- can now setup SHEZSCAN.BAT for one or ALL of the four Viri scanners that
- I know about: ThunderByte 6.20, F-Prot 2.12, Scan V115, and Scan 2.0.2.
-
- (See the SHEZSET.TXT file for a detailed explanation of how to setup and
- use the SHEZSET.BAT file)
-
- b) Rewrote this text file in an easier to use format. The top section
- will be a 'quick' review of what was changed [a) - z)] and the
- enhancement suggestions will be numbered [1) - x)] below that section.
-
- c) Corrected a entry in SHEZA.BAT file that loaded Shez in the wrong
- directory.
-
- ----------
-
- Shez Show 1.2 4/27/94
-
- Developed a method of using different virus scanners by using a batch
- file SHEZSCAN.BAT file and SHEZSET.BAT to change the virus scanner.
- Added sample SHEZSET.BAT and SHEZSCAN.BAT files to this archive.
-
- ----------
-
- Shez Show 1.1 4/20/94
-
- Initial release of Shez Show to the public.
-
- SHEZSHOW.TXT file contains three suggestions showing how to enhance the
- use of Shez.
-
- SHEZA.BAT as an alternate viewer!
- SHEZA.BAT as a uSer program!
- How to use alternate virus scanners in Shez uSer Menu
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- How to Enhance your Shez program for maximum use!
-
- 1) Loading Shez in the TAB Window. SHEZA.BAT as an alternate viewer!
-
- Shez does not OPEN archive files inside the TAB window (on the right
- side of the screen) like it does in the File Window when you press the
- [ENTER] key. To allow Shez to work with archives in either window, I
- created a batch file, SHEZA.BAT, that loads another copy of Shez as an
- alternate viewer when you press [CTRL]-[ENTER].
-
- To use the SHEZA batch file you need one line in SHEZ.INI for each
- file/archive type you want Shez to work with.
-
- (Sample SHEZ.INI entry, to be placed below the [External Viewers])
- (line which is already in the SHEZ.INI file )
-
- [External Viewers] ;THIS IS A REQUIRED ENTRY, TELLS SHEZ WHERE
- ;THE EXTERNAL VIEWER DATA BEGINS
-
- ZIP=SHEZA $F
- UC2=SHEZA $F
- ARJ=SHEZA $F
- LZH=SHEZA $F
-
- Now when you press [CTRL]-[ENTER] in either Window when a file with one
- of the above extensions is high lighted, Shez launches SHEZA.BAT as a
- file viewer. SHEZA.BAT file looks through several directories looking
- for a directory where Shez was NOT loaded from. It then changes to that
- directory and loads another copy of Shez against the high lighted file.
- When you are through working with the file, Exit Shez and you will be
- returned to the previous copy of Shez in memory EXACTLY where you were
- when you pressed [CTRL]-[ENTER].
-
- (This works best if you have plenty of memory or a VERY FAST hard drive
- because Shez automatically uses the Shell function for uSer programs).
-
-
- 2) SHEZA.BAT as a uSer program!
-
- I have setup SHEZA.BAT as a uSer program. I left off the $f after
- SHEZA.BAT so I could use Shez to access any file (normal load).
- The only drawback in this use is that SHEZA.BAT loads Shez in the first
- directory where it found that Shez had NOT been loaded. For this reason
- you should setup SHEZA.BAT starting with the directory you WANT Shez to
- be loaded from on the first line and continue to the least desired
- loading directory as the last entry. SHEZA.BAT will only move from one
- directory to another if it finds Shez has already been loaded in the
- current directory (finding Z#\PRN).
-
- [User-menu]
- Name=Sheza Alternate Shez load
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\SHEZA.BAT|C:\TEMP
-
- When you are through working with the file(s), Exit Shez and you will be
- returned to the previous copy of Shez in memory EXACTLY where you were
- when you pressed [CTRL]-[ENTER].
-
-
- 3) How to use alternate Virus Scanners in Shez!
-
- A Shez configuration file only has one entry for your virus scanning
- program filename and command line options.
- There are several ways to use more than one virus scanner in Shez.
-
- The simplest way: If you ALWAYS want to use the same scanners with the
- same options: create a batch file that has the correct commands and
- command line options for scanning.
-
- Sample SHEZSCAN.BAT:
-
- ECHO OFF
- C:\TBAV\TBSCAN %1 AF IN NM BA LOG LN=C:\TEMP\TBSCAN.LOG NB NH
- C:\SECURITY\F-PROT %1 /NOMEM /NOBOOT /REPORT=C:\TEMP\FPROT.LOG /APPEND
- C:\SECURITY\SCAN %1 /A /SUB /NOMEM /NOPAUSE /HISTORY C:\TEMP\SCAN.LOG
- C:\SECURITY\SCAN2 %1 /SUB /NOMEM /ALL /APPEND /REPORT C:\TEMP\SCAN2.LOG
-
- and then configure Shez to use that batch filename.ext as your virus
- scanner.
-
- A second method is also simple: Setup different uSer Menu entries for
- your different Viri scanners. The limit here is that the uSer Menu
- entries were designed to work with the high lighted file only. To get
- around this, Jim added some uSer command line variables to specify
- different paths and directories.
-
- Added $? command line input to user menu variables.
- Added $CD current drive to user menu variables.
- Added $CP current path to user menu variables.
- Added $ED extract drive to user menu variables.
- Added $EP extract path to user menu variables.
-
- For some examples, your uSer Menu can be setup to use your favorite Viri
- scanner on the directory where you just extracted the files to.
-
- [User-menu]
- Name=McAfee Assts. Scan
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\SCAN.EXE $ED$EP*.* /NOMEM /A /BELL /NOPAUSE|C:\TEMP
-
- Name=F-Prot Virus Scan One
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\F-PROT.EXE $ED$EP*.* /NOBOOT /NOMEM|C:\TEMP
-
- Name=ThunderBYTE TBScan One
- Program=~C:\TBAV\TBSCAN.EXE $ED$EP*.* NB NM NH AF IN BA|C:\TEMP
-
-
- A third method is more flexible but a little harder to setup: This
- method uses SHEZSET.BAT to choose which virus scanner(s) to use.
- You will need to make a uSer Menu entry to select your Viri Scanner
- using SHEZSET.BAT. You will also need to make uSer Menu entries to use
- SHEZSCAN.BAT for Viri Scanning. After that you can reconfigure Shez to
- use a different Viri scanner while Shez is loaded.
-
- [User-menu]
- Name=SHEZSCAN Extracted
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\SHEZSCAN.BAT $ED$EP|C:\TEMP
-
- Name=SHEZSCAN Current
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\SHEZSCAN $CD$CP
-
- Name=SHEZSCAN A File
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\SHEZSCAN $F
-
- Name=SHEZSCAN Any
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\SHEZSCAN $?
-
- Name=CFG SHEZSCAN
- Program=~C:\SECURITY\SHEZSET $?|C:\SECURITY
-
-
-
- 4) RENAME (or Rename Tagged) to FAST MOVE on the Same drive:
-
- When you choose the MOVE (MOVE TAGGED) command Shez copies the file one
- byte at a time then deletes the source file after the copy is complete.
- This is a slow process for large files.
-
- If you are wanting to move files ON THE SAME DRIVE, ie. C: to C:, then
- you can use the RENAME (or Rename Tagged) command to MOVE THE NAME and
- NOT copy/delete the file. The result is a move of a 2MB file that
- happens just as fast as a normal Rename command, even on an XT.
