│ What Is It? │
└─────────────┘
V-CHECK is a door which allows the BBS caller to test the archive
integrity of a file made with either PKZIP or ARJ. V-CHECK will also
test the contents of the archive for viruses. This way, the user knows
that they are not wasting their time downloading a file that either
won't work because it is corrupted or will infect their systems with a
virus.
┌────────────────┐
│ Who Is It For? │
└────────────────┘
V-CHECK was written for and has been tested with QuickBBS and Remote
Access BBS systems. It may work with other bulletin board software with
the proper converter.
┌───────────────────┐
│ What is required? │
└───────────────────┘
V-CHECK requires bulletin board software which can pass the path of the
current file area to a door. PKUNZIP.EXE, ARJ.EXE, and SCAN.EXE must
all be accessible through your DOS path.
┌─────────────────────┐
│ How Do I Set It Up? │
└─────────────────────┘
V-CHECK can be run as a type 7 door on both QuickBBS and RA. Because
V-CHECK calls up PKUNZIP.EXE (or ARJ.EXE) and SCAN.EXE, it requires a
considerable amount of memory. You must instruct your BBS to swap to
disk. You must also pass the path of the current file area to V-CHECK.
These things can be accomplished by using the following optional data
line in your menu:
*c /c *M v-check *0
(Consult your BBS documentation for a full explanation of how to set up
type 7 doors.)
V-CHECK also requires the configuration file V-CHECK.CFG to be in the
default directory. With the above optional data line, your config file
as well as V-CHECK.EXE must be in your BBS directory.
The configuration file looks like:
┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ d:\qbbs │
│ d:\qbbs\work │
│ 1 │
│ │
│ line 1: path to bbs system files │
│ line 2: path to V-CHECK work directory │
│ line 3: 1 = maintain log 0 = no log │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘
A sample V-CHECK.CFG file is included in the .zip file. Only the first
three lines are read by V-CHECK. Anything beyond the first three lines
are considered to be comments.
Line one is the path to your BBS system files. This is where V-CHECK
will look for the user information file DORINFO1.DEF.
Line two is the path to the directory that V-CHECK will use as its work
directory. Make sure that this directory exists and does not contain
anything of importance! V-CHECK will delete ALL files in this directory
after scanning for viruses.
Line three tells V-CHECK whether or not you want to maintain a log file
of its activity. If you enter a 0, V-CHECK will NOT maintain a log. If
you enter a 1, V-CHECK will update a log file (called V-CHECK.LOG) every
time it is run. Each line of the log will contain the date, the name of
the file checked, whether or not there were any problems uncompressing
the file, and whether or not there were any problems found by SCAN.
┌──────────────┐
│ Registration │
└──────────────┘
V-CHECK is NOT freeware! If you use V-CHECK on your BBS for more than 3
weeks, you are required to register it. Run the program REGISTER.EXE if
you decide to register. When you register, your BBS name will appear in
place of the bright yellow [UNREGISTERED] displayed in the door. This
will show your callers that YOU support shareware!
┌────────────┐
│ The Future │
└────────────┘
If there are requests for it, I will add additional archive formats to
V-CHECK. I chose .ZIP and .ARJ at this time because they seem to be the
most popular. If you send me a request to add additional formats
(preferably along with your registration [hint...hint]), I will be glad
to do so.
