Due to the number of requests from sysop's on "how" to set up THD ProScan to work with their BBS programs, I am including this explanation for setup in RA 2.?? (2.00, 2.01 and 2.5?), WWIV, Renegade 07-17 (and 100% compatible ONLY), Telegard (2.7 and 3.??) , PCBoard (15.?), Maximus, EzyCom, Wildcat and T.A.G. 2.7?. Although it works equally well with other BBS programs, These are the only programs which I can supply any assistance with. Most of these setup suggestions have been supplied by users of THD ProScan. But first a multi-purpose batch file for those wishing to test numerous files in a single directory. ********************************************************** ** IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ANY BBS RUNNING THDPRO.EXE SWAP ** ** OUT IT'S MEMORY SO THAT THDPRO.EXE CAN EFFECTIVELY ** ** RUN THE VARIOUS ARCHIVE UTILITIES AND VIRUS SCANNERS ** ********************************************************** Needless to say... BE SURE TO SELECT THE PROPER BBS TYPE IN THDINSTL * - * - * - * - * - * GENERAL PURPOSE BATCH FILE -------------------------- (See THDTERM.EXE as well) DIRTEST.BAT ----------- @ECHO OFF CTTY CON FOR %%F IN (%1\*.*) DO C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %%F This will cause all files in the supplied directory to be tested. However, be warned that only the errorlevel from the last file tested will be returned to the calling program. Syntax for this batch file would be C:\THDPRO\DIRTEST.BAT C:\TEST where DIRTEST.BAT is located in "C:\THDPRO" and "C:\TEST" is the directory containing the files to be tested. (Some command processors may require that the "%%F" above be replaced by "%F" when run from the command line.) * - * - * - * - * - * TELEGARD 3.0 (2.99 Gamma) ------------------------- Configure THDPRO.EXE with your desired settings, taking special care to select TG 3.0 as your BBS type. Supply the path to your main TG directory when asked and answer "yes" to update file data bases. Load Telegard From the WFC press "S" (System config) Select "F" (File system) Select "5" (Virus Scanner) enter "C:\THDPRO\THRPO.EXE ~AF ~CP" (substitute the correct path to THDPRO.EXE) select "6" enter "0" (for passed errorlevel) select "7" enter "yes" to use TESTINFO.DAT enter "C:\THDPRO\" (substitute with your THDPRO directory) Quit back to the WFC Some users have reported that using THD causes duplicate file entries. This is almost certainly caused by changes made by THDPLUS.EXE to the TG file data base(s). To avoid this problem either rename or delete THDPLUS.EXE from the THDPRO directory. TG will use the TESTINFO.DAT file created by THDPRO.EXE to update it's file bases and THDPLUS is therefore unnecessary with this configuration. THDPRO.EXE runs THDPLUS automatically if it exists in the same directory. Renaming is recommended to avoid this while it still allows you the opportunity to run it manually if you should ever require it. Deleting accomplishes the same result but does not afford the ability to run it manually. * - * - * - * - * - * TELEGARD 2.7 ------------ Lets start from scratch.. make a dir called C:\THDPRO change to that directory. unarchive the THD Proscan archive into that directory. run THDINSTL.EXE answer all the questions and double check the settings on the final screens as if your life depended on it's being correct. change to your BBS directory. type TELEGARD -K press "P" press "F" look at option "L".. make note of the path here shell to dos. go to the directory just seen in option "L". copy THDPRO.EXE and THDPLUS.EXE from C:\THDPRO\ to this directory. return to TG (exit shell). press "A" press "M" press "1" (which I assume will correspond to the "ZIP" archive type) check the first option to be sure it is marked "ACTIVE" (if not mark it active). change line "#6" to read "THDPRO.EXE @F" Press "Q" until you are back at the "WFC" screen and from their do a local logon. Once logged on.. Go to the file section and list the files long enough to find the name of a single valid "zip" file. now type at the menu prompt "//\\AT" enter the name of the "zip" filename you just found using "list" answer no to delete files question.. and No to search all dirs question. watch the output on your side to see if the file is being scanned. The ONLY reason that this process (if followed EXACTLY) would not work.. is because you have no directory listed under option "L" (as above). IF you do not have a directory specified there, then change the "line #6" mentioned above to include the full path "C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE @F".. DO NOT enter this if there is a path in option "L" or the archive tester will not be found. Also.. you might wish to test it from the command line as follows to be sure that it works. type C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE C:\COMMAND.COM This will show you the scanner at work and if you do not see this type of screen when run from TG.. then you have failed in configuring TG NOT the fault of the scanner. This is FAR more detailed than I had ever hoped to have to get. Any TG sysop should be able to accomplish this without such detail.. BUT given that you may never have had to do this before.. Follow the instructions EXACTLY!!!! * - * - * - * - * - * Renegade v07-17 Beta -------------------- 1. Make a directory for THD ProScan. We'll assume for now that you've called it "C:\THDPRO". Change to that directory. Unarchive the THD ProScan distribution archive into that directory. 2. Run THDINSTL.EXE. Answer all the questions, and double check that the settings are correct on the final screens. 3. Change to your main BBS directory, and type "RENEGADE.EXE -L". Press "S" to enter the system configuration menu. Press "A" to enter the main BBS configuration menu. Look at option "9", your archivers path, and make a note of the path here. 4. Shell to DOS. Change to the directory you just saw in option "9". If it doesn't exist, create it. Copy THDPRO.EXE from C:\THDPRO to this directory. Return to Renegade (type "EXIT"). 5. Press "Q" to leave the main BBS configuration menu. Press "L" to enter the archivers configuration menu. Press "M" to modify an archiver. Press the number of any archiver that has a "+" in front of it (in other words, any active archiver) and hit ENTER. Change option number 6 ("File testing cmdline") to read "THDPRO.EXE %F". If you are running more than one node, you should change this to read "THDPRO.EXE %F %P". (You can also do this if you only run one node if you like, but it's not necessary.) Repeat step number 5 until you've setup THD ProScan in option number 6 for every active archiver. If you followed this process exactly, the only reason it wouldn't work is if you hadn't defined your archivers directory. (Option "9" from "MAIN BBS CONFIGURATION".) If you have NOT specified an archivers directory, then you can change the commandline in each of your archivers to read "C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %F". Use the full path ONLY if you haven't already specified a path in your archivers setup. Most sysops should be able to figure this out. If THD ProScan DOESN'T work, then try going through this process once more, and make sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY. Note that not mentioned above is the need to have RG swap out prior to running THDPRO.EXE. Failure to swap RG could result in failed scan sessions or other memory shortages. Renegade Setup text was supplied by Lars Hellsten. * - * - * - * - * - * T.A.G. 2.7 ---------- T.A.G. users should simply run THDPRO.EXE from POSTUL.BAT which will process the description by running THDPLUS at that time. In this case you would not need a FILETEST.BAT and make POSTUL.BAT look like this... This method has been recommended to me as the method of choice. POSTUL.BAT ------------ C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %4%5 %2 * - * - * - * - * - * PCBOARD ------- 1) In PCBSETUP, under options 1 : Verify files uploaded is set to "Yes". 2) Edit the PCBTEST.BAT file in the PCBoard directory, and make it look similar to the following: For proper use with PCBOARD, the following is a recommended PCBTEST.BAT -------- @echo off echo * %1 Failed testing by THD ProScan > PCBFAIL.TXT if %2 == UPLOAD pcbdesc %1 %3 if %2 == UPLOAD SET THDPCB=%3 C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %1 if errorlevel == 1 goto END DEL pcbfail.txt :end ----------- The "if %2 == UPLOAD SET THDPCB=%3" line is ABSOLUTELY required for proper functioning with PCBoard IF you wish THD to update the description and/or filename and filesize. THDPRO.EXE will exit with an errorlevel of 1 or higher if the file fails the test. It will then exit without changing the PCBFAIL.TXT. However, if the test is successful, it will delete the "PCBFAIL.TXT" file. ** Original text supplied by Mike Thomson ** ** Text has been modified to reflect ** ** changes for THD ProScan Version 11.0 ** * - * - * - * - * - * WWIV ------ ( As supplied by Tom Goodson ) The following assumes that upload security is the primary purpose for installing an upload virus scanning event in the first place, therefore I recommend that all uploads in this particular setup be directed to the SYSOP directory after scanning for sysop/co-sysop inspection prior to being moved to the appropriate file subdirectories. However, if the sysop intends to let his/her callers upload directly to the various file subdirectories (which I do not advise), the command line below will accommodate this as well. To Install THD ProScan on your WWIV BBS: Configure THDPRO.EXE with THDINSTL.EXE (Select "none" as your BBS type). Run WWIV's INIT program and select 'More System Info' and set 'All UL to Sysop' to YES. (This step is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended for maximum security. After you examine the uploaded file, you will have to manually move it to its appropriate subdirectory yourself). Select 'External Programs' and for 'Upload Event,' enter the following command line: C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE %2%3 %4 *** Of course the above command line assumes that you have installed *** *** THD ProScan on your C: drive in a subdirectory named THDPRO. *** Bring up the BBS and enter directory edit (//DIREDIT). Set UPLOADS in the SYSOP file subdirectory to ALLOWED. Set all other subirectories to DISALLOWED (this will disallow any unauthorized uploads directly to the other subdirectories). Tom Goodson a.k.a. P-38, SysOp, Zenith Nadir, @2736 WWIVnet My thanks goes to David Muir, the wise fellow who wrote THD ProScan for allowing me to distribute this excellent program, and to JAFO who provided insight on the command line. WWIV ------ ( As supplied by Rob Giannini ) Configure THDPRO.EXE with THDINSTL.EXE. (Select "none" as your BBS type) Run the WWIV's INIT program and select external programs. Go down to the upload event and enter...

Run "THDINSTL.EXE" During THDINSTL, if you run RA 2.?? and would like THDPRO.EXE to automatically insert FILE_ID.DIZ comments into RA's File data bases, Be sure to tell the install that you use RA. And then select the version which is 100% compatible to the version you are running (available from the final screen). DO NOT enable this option if you are running a "FILES.BBS" oriented system. ** IMPORTANT ** From the final screen of THDINSTL, one of the options is "Failed file Moving". Be sure to set this to "Inactive". If you do not, it may confuse RemoteAccess when it is unable to find the file. Setting up Raconfig: Run raconfig and select the following menu options: 1/ Options 2/ Files The following is an example of how to fill in the upload scanning section... Scan online Yes Failed scan /unavailable/move to 998 Scan utility C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE @ *P *M Scan Online is set to yes to allow the user to see straight away if there are any problems with his upload. Failed scan action is set to mark the file as unavailable and move it to file area 998 (an area previously decided to be a badfiles area). Scan utility runs C:\THDPRO\THDPRO.EXE with following parameters: @ path and filename of file to be tested *P com port in use *M swap RA out of memory to give THD ProScan as much room as possible. This general outline was supplied by Mark Kerr. Mark can be reached VIA Fidonet at 2:443/59 for further support in regards to RemoteAccess. * - * - * - * - * -* EZYCOM (1.02) ------------- The following is a batch file supplied for use with EZYCOM v1.02.
