A list of quick informational notes.
------------------------------------
McAfee's VirusScan version 1.x.x is no longer supported internally by
THDPRO.EXE. If you wish to use the 1 series from McAfee, you will need to
configure it for use through THDEXARC. I am of the opinion that the 1 series
by McAfee is too far out of date to be considered useful.
If files constantly fail the scan, ensure that there is enough available
memory.
Network Users are strongly recommended to rename THDINSTL.EXE to NETINSTL.EXE
(or optionally run THDINSTL.EXE /NET). You should also take a moment to read
"Network Notes" in THDDOC.TXT.
When running The DOS version of THDPRO.EXE from a BBS, be sure that your BBS
is swapping it's memory out to DISK/EMS/XMS (see your BBS documentation for
swapping options) or risk failing of files due to insufficient memory to load
scanners and archive utilities.
If using Scan 2.x.x be sure that *.DAT files are located in the same directory
as SCAN.EXE. (Subject to change, see this program's documentation)
If using F-PROT be sure the file ENGLISH.TX0 (or other TX0 file) and SIGN.DEF
are in the same directory as F-PROT.EXE. (Subject to change, see this
program's documentation)
If using TBSCAN.EXE be sure that TBSCAN.DAT and TBSCAN.SIG are located in the
same directory as TBSCAN.EXE. (Subject to change, see this program's
documentation)
For MULTI-NODE BBS'es set comports to "0" and pass the needed comport on the
command line whenever possible.
If Secure Mode is used, you must run THDPRO.EXE /SEC to initiate/update the
THDPRO.SEC file after each utility update or reconfiguration. Failure to do so
will cause unwarranted failures. If THDPRO.EXE is renamed, it will create a
file whose name matches the new name of THDPRO.EXE with the extension ".SEC"
(thus allowing multiple copies of both THDPRO.EXE and THDPRO.SEC to reside in
the same directory) ie. If THDPRO.EXE were renamed to "NEWTHD.EXE" then
running NEWTHD.EXE /SEC would produce the file NEWTHD.SEC.
Note that if the THDEXARC format is used with SECURE mode the file entries
must be edited in THDEXARC in order to update their CRC's when changes are
made as THDPRO /SEC does not update the THDEXARC.DAT file.
Command line options (except comport[DOS] or file handle[OS/2]) will override
the "default configuration".
Run THDINSTL.EXE for AUTHOR contact information.
PARAMETERS -
----------
/ADD - for use with third party programs to indicate the users desire to
have entries added to their FDB if not already present (Not supported
by THDPLUS). This is equivalent to "SET THDOPT=ADD".
/DC - Dupe Check
Check files prior to processing to see if they have already been
processed "according to the THDPRO.DUP file" which is created by
selecting to create a dupe list in THDINSTL.EXE.
/CO - Convert Only
/KO - Keep Original
/LA - Log all
Do not fail a virus infected file until all scanners have been run.
/NODESC - Do Not update descriptions.
/OV - OVerride the default limits for size and time. Use this to test
files manually which exceed time and space limits configured
internally to THDPRO.EXE
/RO - Treat the test file as Read-Only. Use for CD-ROM's which are not
autodetected by THDPRO.EXE or for files where you wish them tested
but not modified in any way.
/TOxxx# - Convert to "xxx" at level "#"
...where "xxx" = one of the following
ARJ - LHA - RAR - SQZ - UC2 - ZIP
...and "#" = nothing or one of the following
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
/SEC - Generate THDPRO.SEC file (Required when Secure Mode is chosen).
/SECTEST - check current values in THDPRO.SEC file. (Reports only failures)
CRC - update the CRC removal list
DIZ - run THDPLUS.EXE only (left over from prior versions)
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 = comport number to send output to.
SET THDOPT=
-----------
ANSI - to force ANSI output to the remote (when present)
SOLID - to use the "solid" option when re-archiving to RAR format.
ADD - see above regarding the parameter "/ADD".
NDx - force THDPRO to attempt usage of drive "x" for testing
(usually a ramdrive or network drive)
NFL - Cause THDPRO.EXE to send the "/NOFLOPPY" switch when calling F-PROT.
ADDSPACE## - Add ## spaces to the from of FILES.BBS extended description
lines, where "##" is the number of spaces to add. Used by
THDPLUS.EXE.
PKZIP, ARJ and RAR security features are available through the use of THDZIP,
THDARJ and THDRAR environment variables. Please see THDDOC.TXT for proper use
of these variables.
GENERAL SYNTAX -
--------------
THDPRO.EXE [mode] {drive:\path\filename.ext} [/CO] [/KO] [/NODESC] [cvt] [com]
{} = Required (except with /SEC or /SECTEST or DIZ)
[] = optional
Where [mode] = CRC or DIZ (no mode indicated means test mode)
[cvt] = Convert indicator - TOxxx# as shown above
[com] = the comport as explained above [DOS]
or the file handle [OS/2]
Not all switches can be used together (See THDDOC.TXT for proper use)
