Scanner, v1.56 (12-Oct-1992) - © 1991,1992 Tor O. Houghton
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ VERSION INFORMATION IN FILE 'Versions'
Please note that this product is a primarily a detector - i.e. it detects
rather than removes viruses. Removal code for each virus will often come in
later versions, but as I don't have time to disassemble each virus on the fly
(unlike Alan Glover) I add the detection routines first so that new versions
can be released quickly.
A bit about the screen layout:
.---------------------------------------------.
| | <- Current directory
|=============================================|

|=============================================|
| | <- File contained material

|===============================--------------'

| | <- Status report
'------------------------------'
A few notes on the colour coding:
RED - Scanner found virus code, but could/did not remove it. Such files
should be removed from where they are and either deleted or
stored in a safe place for future versions of Scanner (or any
similar program) to handle them.
MARK: ⇨
PEACH - Scanner found something but couldn't determine what it was. It
might be a virus, but Scanner is "not sure".
MARK: ?
MAGENTA - Scanner found virus code, and successfully managed to remove it
from the file.
MARK: ☓
GREEN - Scanner inoculated a file against a specific virus attack. This
is currently not available. In fact - I don't think it ever will
be. It *is* a rather useless countermeasure.
MARK: €
YELLOW - Scanner found a file with an inoculation 'fingerprint', and just
notifies you of this.
MARK: -
ORANGE - Scanner found a compressed file.
MARK: #
A number in paranthesis tailing an infected file indicates infection count.

Using <Scanner$Dir>.!RunImage from CLI or customized Obey file:
*<Scanner$Dir>.!RunImage <param 1> <param 2> <param 3> <param 4>
Parameter 1: Scanner search dir, e.g. $ or CFS#SCSI::4.$.Incoming
Parameter 2: Log file - "_" for default if parameter 3 and 4 are used, else
blank.
Parameter 3: Remove inoculation fingerprint? (Y/N)
Parameter 4: Remove virus code from infected files? (Y/N)
E.g. 1: "*<Scanner$Dir>.!RunImage ADFS::0.$ _ Y N" will remove inoculation
fingerprints in files located on ADFS drive 0, using the default filename for
the log file.
E.g. 2: "<Scanner$Dir>.!RunImage ADFS::0.$" will scan ADFS drive 0 without
taking any action whatsoever.
