- CAUTION! As of version 6.4a, switch /X was switched to /M. /X is
- now used to enable or disable SFX file processing.
-
- Features added to version 6.6
-
- ■ As further protection from viruses and trojans ZZAP can now
- compute the 32-bit CRC of any program, such as SCAN.EXE,
- before executing it. If the CRC is not correct ZZAP will
- not execute the program. CRC verification of virus scanning
- programs is highly recommended. The the section on the /Y
- switch and the file MAKECRC.DOC for instructions.
- ■ Oops, I didn't properly document the new /L command line
- switch. Good thing too, as I've since reversed the meaning
- of the switch to opposite of what is was first implemented.
- The log file now defaults to only displaying error messages.
- If you wish the file summary information that was previously
- the default you must use the /L to turn on the long form log
- file. See ZZAP.DOC information on activating the log file.
- ■ Program files (EXE and COM) that are not SFX are now moved
- to the bad directory (or renamed to '*.!?!') if NOTSFX=BAD.
- This option is intended for sysops who don't care for
- non-SFX program files to be uploaded to their BBS. The
- moving/renaming of program files only applies to the program
- files that are NOT inside an archive. Program files inside
- an archive are never treated as bad files if they are not
- SFX archives, regardless of the settings of the SFX options
- and switches.
- ■ Made some minor changes to the display so error messages
- would be easier to read.
- ■ You can no longer define your PRE, MID, and POST programs in
- the environment. Nobody used this feature so wasn't worth the
- extra maintanence headache.
-
- Features added to version 6.5
-
- ■ Fixed bug where it would lose track of files when converting
- archives not in the default directory.
- ■ The summary information now contains the correct old and new
- file sizes.
- ■ You can now include environment variables in the configuration
- file. You must enclose the variable name on both sides with
- the percent character, e.g.
-
- DEFAULT=%WHICH%
-
- For the above example, at the command line you could then
- type "SET WHICH=ZIP" and the variable will be properly
- replaced when the configuration file is processed. If the
- specified environment variable does not exist it will be
- left in the line.
- ■ Added the WORKDRIVE= command.
- ■ Added the NESTED= command.
- ■ Further enhanced the processing of self-extracting archives.
- It will now optionally check executables contained in an
- archive for self-extracting status. See NESTEDSFX= in the
- manual.
- ■ Added option to ignore executables that are not self-
- extracting archives instead of treating them as corrupted
- archives. See NONSFX= in the manual.
-
- Features added to version 6.4
-
- ■ Now supports detection and processing of self-extraction
- archives (SFX). The SFX= command in the configuration file
- is used to declare how to detect an SFX file type (see the
- manual for additional details).
- ■ /X (enable/disable ems/xms) has been changed to /M.
- ■ The new /X switch enables and disables the detection and
- processing of self-extracting archives when a wildcard
- extension (.*) is specified in the filename. The switch is
- not necessary if an explicit extension of .EXE or .COM is
- given.
