- CVT (tm) HISTORY March 31, 1990
- ----------------
-
- Vers. 1.00 - Beta test release - October 27, 1989
-
-
- Vers. 1.01 - Original release - October 29, 1989
-
- Fixed the bug that caused an incorrect error message
- and the program to lockup when the archive extracted
- a file which had any file in it that did not have a
- filename extension. Added the /s switch to initiate
- virus search subroutine, improved error handling,
- error messages, added an error log, and added
- additional screen color.
-
-
- Vers. 2.0 - Major update - March 14, 1990
-
- Added a configuration file to permit the user to
- select the compression programs and set their
- respective parameters. Added an automatic search for
- all known archive extractors to provide alternatives
- for the extraction programs. Eliminated the need to
- have archivers in a subdirectory which is part of the
- path statement. Added an environment parameter to
- eliminate dependency on the DOS path statement in
- order to permit more reliable program accesses.
- Eliminated the BAD.$$$ subdirectory feature where
- problem files were moved to the subdirectory because
- of accidental erasures which occasionally occurred
- with disk full errors. Replaced the BAD.$$$
- subdirectory feature with file renaming routine.
- Changed most switches to disable defaults. Changed
- the virus scan to default, and made /v the disable
- switch. Added the /vo switch to do a virus scan only
- without any conversions. Added default feature to
- strip all ANSI escape codes from .ZIP file comments,
- and save the remaining text to a .LOG file. Added
- ability to disable nested archive processing. Added
- ability to enable ATTR or ATTRIB to change read only
- file attributes. Improved screen colors, messages
- and error handling. Eliminated temporary environment
- changes, and substituted file read/write routines.
- Made BATch file access as automatic option rather
- than require the installation of an empty BATch file.
- Added a configuration check screen, delete .LOG file
- prompts, and an abort option.

- Thanks to Chuck Metz, the sysop of Sartoga Clone BBS (408/395-1402)
- in San Jose, Calif. for his help with beta testing CVT v2.0

-
- Vers. 2.1 - Bug fix - March 19, 1990
-
- Compensated for a bug which caused a loss of path
- instruction for PKUNZIP under certain circumstances.
- Compensated for a bug which caused LHARC to try to
- create files with odd extensions when .ZIP file
- comments began on the PKUNZIP search line. Corrected
- an error in the documents which indicated that a .ZIP
- file comment stripper could be activated.
-
-
- Vers. 2.2 - Minor Update - March 31, 1990
-
- Made read-only file attribute stripper and .ZIP file
- comment stripper functions internal rather than
- dependent upon other vendor external programs.
- Improved .ZIP file comment .LOG writing function to
- write all escape characters, and also to improve
- distinction between each comment. Improved
- processing of .ZIP file comments created by unknown
- comment inserter. Added disable switch for .ZIP file
- comment stripping when run in the virus checking only
- mode. Corrected minor bug which omitted missing
- operating file location in a few error messages.
- Minor adjustments made to maximize use with PKZIP.EXE
- and PKUNZIP.EXE v1.1 program files.
