ZipLab Plus version 2.ß (BETA)
What's new from version 1.9c
Warning!
* You MUST start over and configure from scratch. Read BETA.DOC for
tips on getting started, and ZIPLAB.DOC for installation details.
* The executables PTEST.EXE and SETUP.EXE no longer exist. They have
been renamed to ZLAB.EXE and ZSET.EXE.
* ZipLab Plus now requires that your configuration files (formerly
PTEST.CFG) follow the ZLABxxx.CFG naming convention (where "xxx"
is a conference number, and the default for all conferences being
"000" if one specific to them is not found).
* ZLABxxx.CFG is has many changes from the old PTEST.CFG format. DO
NOT try to modify your old PTEST.CFG, just recreate it with ZSET.EXE.
* The command line for ZLAB.EXE in PCBTEST.BAT (or PROUTEST.BAT) is
different. Please make note in ZIPLAB.DOC.
Changes - in no particular order
* Much faster overall.
* Less disk "thrashing" while testing
* All new ZSET.EXE setup program, written in VBDOS.
* Mail message now sent to the user on test failure.
* Mail message also sent to Sysop on virus detection.
* Handles the new PKZip/UnZip 1.93
* New "trashcan" to reject files with certain text in name or description.
* Local screen handling improved.
* Now fully conference specific if desired.
* Displays "bbs ads" removed to the user and sysop.
* Completely reworked CRC checking and bbs ad filename checking.
* Takes modem "offhook" if the user hangs up during testing.
* Custom .ZIP comments can now have imbedded special @ZCODES.
* ZCRC.EXE included to help find file CRC-32 for bbs ad checking.
* Files which fail testing get a .ZIP comment with the reason for failure.
* .ARJ processing improved.
* Error trapping and reporting vastly improved.
* Non archive files which are "passed" now have both virus and date checking.
* Description handling in ProDoor improved. Requires ProDoor 3.44 or better.
* All self-extracting archive types processed, recognized by signature.
* All ZipLab executable and configuration files are sharable on a network.
* Wildcards no longer supported in this version. Use the DOS command:
FOR %F IN (*.ZIP) DO ZLAB %F d:\path\pcbdir d:\path\cfgdir LOCAL
to test a whole directory of files.
Literally hundreds of smaller cosmetic or functional changes have been
made. More features are possilbe during the beta test cycle for 2.0,
please check the BETA.HST each time you download a new beta version.
