~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copyright © Johan Eliasson (SHI member) 1992
All Rights Reserved
Released 12-12-92
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DISCLAIMER/PREFACE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CheckDrive is freely distributable as long as all of its files are included
in their original form without additions, deletions, or modifications of any
kind, and only a nominal fee is charged for its distribution. This software
is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.
By using CheckDrive, you agree to accept the entire risk as to the quality and
performance of the program.
REQUIREMENTS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CheckDrive should work with any Amiga model...I think...
You need to have the BootBlock.brainfile installed either in the L: directory
or the current directory.
You also need to have the Bootblock.library installed in the LIBS: directory.
INTRODUCTION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CheckDrive is a utility that checks a drive of your choice for
bootblock-viruses. It's all very simple really.
Just make sure that you have the BootBlock.brainfile and the Bootblock.library
(preferably the latest versions) installed correctly and then type
> CheckDrive [drive]
where drive is the number of the drive you want to check.
Ex: CheckDrive 1 will check DF1: for bootblock viruses.
That's all folks!
Notice that CheckDrive just checks, it doesn't remove the virus,
you'll have to do that yourself!

HISTORY
~~~~~~~
Version 1.0 : First release.
Version 1.1 : A few changes to reflect the changes made in the brainfile and
the library.
Version 1.2 : A few changes to reflect the changes made in the brainfile and
the library.
Version 1.3 : If the brainfile isn't found in L:, it will be looked for in
(01.11.92) the current directory.
Version 1.4 : CheckDrive now uses the new ReadBoot() library-function.
(11.11.92) The executable is approx. 1 kB smaller.
Version 1.5 : Now the memory for the brainfile isn't freed when the checking
(12.12.92) is done. It will be kept in memory, so the brainfile won't
have to be read in the next time you use CheckDrive.
If you, after having used CheckDrive, install a new version
of the brainfile, just do an Avail FLUSH, and the memory for
the old brainfile will be freed, and thus the new brainfile
will be read in when using CheckDrive again.
If this sounds complicated, just forget it, it's not really
important!
