Call 1-800-242-4775 and specify order #11241 Stealth 5.0 had some problems with lost clusters with DOS versions 6.0 and 6.2. If you have a previous version 5.0, please delete it and replace it with this fix. I had many reports of Stealth 5.0 causing hard disk problems because its incompatibility with DOS 6.2 PLEASE REPLACE ALL STEALTH 5.0 VERSIONS WITH 5.1 ! ========== QUICK START ! ================================================== Put STEALTH.EXE in a "test" directory containing some archives. Make sure STEALTH.EXE is in your "PATH=" statement. Type: STEALTH.EXE Now watch as all the archives are converted to your favorite compressor! This program finds them all: PAK ZIP HAP SQZ LZH plus tons more, then converts them to your 'favorite' archiver. Now type: CD\ Notice that STEALTH.LOG has been written there. Use EDIT.COM from DOS 5+ and look at it. Just type: EDIT STEALTH.LOG All action from Stealth has been written, including dates, times and DOS commands that it used. Type: STEALTH /? for a quick help screen! ============================================================================= Advanced users: Welcome to the world of Stealth. This program is quite unique, because it will convert ANY archive to ANY other archive. The advantages of this over other competition programs (like ZZAP, SHEZ, etc...) is: ■ It supports every major archiver available! ARJ, ARC, LHA, HAP, SQZ, DWC, PAK, ZIP 1.1 and 2.0, ICE, LHARC, LARC, UC2, HYPER, SDN, FCOMPACT, LIMIT and ZOO. ■ It can recognize PKZIP 1.1 files and PKZIP 2.0 "normal" compressed files, then convert them to PKZIP -EX "extra" compression. This will save you a ton of hard disk space! ■ Allows using LHA SFX self-extracting archives to be the "target" archiver. That makes distribution of your archives easy, since the recipient does not need a program to un-archive your files! ■ Use ENVIRONMENTAL variables to "customize" your version. ■ Allows REMOVAL of a file's comment to a separate file. ■ Supports VENDINFO.DIZ: The new standard in vendor and BBS information. The FIRST util to support this. ■ Uses MULTIPLE config files, so you can completely change Stealth's operation from a batch file. ■ Leave PKZIP and ARJ -AV files alone, plus virus scanning using any of the three most popular scanners! ■ Recognizes embedded directories, and can include them with the conversion. ■ Is perfect for SYSOPS, since it can be run as an "event" to update all .ZIP files, or be used as an upload processor. Even add comments or strip them from the files... ■ You can "customize" STEALTH to almost any configuration. Include some archives, but not others, recurse subdirectories, leave SFX files alone, delete files after processing, plus MORE. ■ Keeps an accurate log of all activity. ■ Lists archived files using its own 'internal' compression viewer (super-fast!). ■ Allows overriding Stealth.cfg options on the command-line. ■ You can add extra BBS advertisements, add only your comments, or evaluate the current files. ■ Re-comment your entire BBS file area with ONE command. ■ You can NOW pause, shell to DOS, or stop the program by just pressing a key. ■ Search archives for FILE_ID.DIZ, DESC.SDI, *.SDA {SDA.ID} or VENDINFO.DIZ No other utility can do this! Plus STEALTH recognizes even DWC, SQZ, and LARC self-extracting files. Please notice that NO OTHER ARCHIVE program can do that. Is hard disk space important? That PKZIP file you downloaded yesterday... it is probably in 1.1 format. In fact, most of your PKZIP'ed files are 1.1 or else 2.0 "normal" compressed. Use STEALTH to maximize their compression. You can save 60,000 bytes of disk space on a few files, and several megabytes if you re-archive every downloaded file. Doing that manually will take FOREVER. And even batch files are no good, since they are so slow. But, you can be assured of accuracy and speed with STEALTH! STEALTH is extrememly simple: 1. Edit STEALTH.CFG to your satisfaction (see below for details) (or just use STL_CFG.EXE to create your OWN stealth.cfg) 2. Include STEALTH.EXE and STEALTH.CFG in your path 3. Go to a directory containing some old archives. 4. Type: STEALTH.EXE (or STEALTH *.*) Now note that Stealth processes the entire directory! The only filespec you need (optional) is *.*. Stealth ruthlessly converts everything it can find using your .CFG file. NOTE: You can use STEALTH *.* or STEALTH *.ZIP ..... And wala, you are all done. If you change your mind on archives, or want to change something, STEALTH.CFG is easy to edit. Take your favorite editor and change it around. NOTE: If Stealth cannot locate STEALTH.CFG file, it will use its own defaults. ======================================================================= NEW! Stealth now has a variety of command line options that will override the Stealth.cfg defaults. USAGE: STEALTH [filespec] [options] [altfile.CFG] can specify alternate .CFG file Options: /X Give exact details in log file /COMM Add the COMMENT file only (no conversion) /EVAL Evaluation archive only (no conversion) /+ Debug STEALTH process (messy output, but detailed!) /ID Show files having FILE_ID.DIZ, DESC.SDI *.SDA {SDA.ID} or VENDINFO.DIZ (new vendor info file) /LIST List contents of archive file(s) /GETCOM Get comment: Save into COMMENT.1 /SHORTLOG Keep Stealth's LOGfile under 40K NOTE: STEALTH environmental variables overrides .CFG file ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ IMPORTANT NOTE: While Stealth is running, you can pause it, │ │ shell to DOS, or do an emergency exit. │ │ │ │ Pressing the [spacebar] pauses Stealth. Any other key resumes. │ │ Pressing the 'D' key shells to DOS. Just type: 'exit' to resume. │ │ Pressing the [ESC] key exits Stealth immediately. │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ [altconfigfile.CFG] Stealth now can take multiple config files on the command line! Now, instead of changing STEALTH.CFG every five minutes, you can create several different ones. Examples: STEALTH C:\PCB\GEN\UPLOAD.CFG Will force Stealth to use the UPLOAD.CFG config file located in \PCB\GEN. STEALTH E:\STLCFG\STEALTH5.CFG Will use Stealth5.cfg file on the E: drive. Valid Usage: STEALTH *.ZIP C:\STEALTH\PROCESS.CFG STEALTH *.ARJ D:\TEMP\MY.CFG STEALTH *.LZH C:\STEALTH\DAVE$S.CFG STEALTH E:\UPL\UPLOAD8.CFG IMPORTANT NOTE: The alternate config file MUST have a .CFG extension. The filename can be anything, but must have a .CFG ending! If no config file is specified on the command line, then Stealth still searches the DOS path for STEALTH.CFG /X will provide a little more detailed information in STEALTH.LOG /COMM if you are a SYSOP, and want to add a "comment" file to your PKZIP and ARJ files, this is great! Using the /COMM switch, you can quickly comment ALL YOUR FILES in minutes. For an extra bonus, turn on RECURSE SUBDIRECTORIES in the config file, and watch as Stealth updates the comments on every file you got! *** NO OTHER ARCHIVE CONVERTER CAN DO THAT! *** /EVAL if you wonder what kind of files you have, then run: STEALTH *.* /EVAL then Stealth will show what the archive types are without converting them. This is kinda like a "preprocessor" for Stealth. /+ will show a large amount of messy information on the screen, detailing exactly how STEALTH is thinking, and what part of the program it is in. That way, you can debug where a problem is in case of a serious crash or lockup. /ID Searches files for FILE_ID.DIZ, DESC.SDI *.SDA or {SDA.ID} This is ideal for SySops, since many BBS programs require a "description file" to update the main file listing. Using: STEALTH *.* /ID allows quickly identifying files with no description! /LIST List a single archive's contents. This works on only ONE file at a time. Wildcards are not allowed here. If you want to list a large number of files, use the LIST environmental variable instead. Usage: STEALTH test.zip /LIST STEALTH shez.arj /LIST *** NO OTHER ARCHIVE CONVERTER CAN DO THAT! *** /GETCOM Get the comment from a .ZIP or .ARJ file, then write it to COMMENT.1 This is useful if you see a really cool comment on a compressed file, and would like to "leech" it, and customize it with your OWN information! /SHORTLOG The Stealth LOG file can get rather large, real quick. Using /SHORTLOG will truncate the Stealth log file when it gets over 40K. ===== EXAMPLES: ==================================================== STEALTH *.ZIP /X STEALTH *.ARJ /LIST STEALTH TEST.ZIP /GETCOM STEALTH *.ZIP /COMM STEALTH *.ZIP /X STEALTH *.* /+/NOLOG STEALTH *.ARJ /VIRUS/NOLOG/X STEALTH /EVAL (the *.* is assumed) STEALTH /ID (the *.* is assumed) ====================================================================== Do not separate the options. If you have more than one, place them all together as shown above. CORRECT: STEALTH *.ZIP /X/NOLOG INCORRECT: STEALTH *.ZIP /X /NOLOG ======================================================================== IMPORTANT NOTE: PKZIP 2.0 "stored" files are identical to PKZIP 1.1 format. Therefore, all 2.0 "stored" archives are flagged as version 1.1. ========= The New STEALTH Environmental Variable ============================= Starting in v5.0, Stealth has a new environmental variable. You can set it by using: SET STEALTH=option;option;option;option on the command line, or from within a batch file. Note that each option is separated by a ';', which is similar to the DOS PATH. Valid Options: SHORTLOG - Truncate Stealth's logfile when it becomes longer than 40K F-PROT - Turn on virus scanning, and use F-PROT as the scanner TBAV - Turn on virus scanning, and use TBSCAN as the scanner SCAN - Turn on virus scanning, and use McAfee's VIRUSCAN as the scanner NOLOG - Do not use a log file (Default: Use a log file) LIST - List files before processing STRCOM - Strip comment ADDCOM - Add comment (a COMMENT file must be specified in STEALTH.CFG) EXPEXE - Expand EXE files (self-extracting compressors) NODEL - Do not delete original files (Default: Delete original archives) 2EXTRA - Make .ZIPs to extra-compression (PKZIP2 must be the default compressor in STEALTH.CFG) BREAKAV - Break -AV seal on .ZIP and .ARJ files (Default: Never break -AV files) RECURSE - Recurse subdirectories (Default: Do not recurse subdirs) Valid Usage: SET STEALTH=2EXTRA;LIST;BREAKAV SET STEALTH=RECURSE;NOLOG;ADDCOM;SHORTLOG Explained Usage: SET STEALTH=RECURSE;NOLOG;ADDCOM;SHORTLOG │ │ │ │ Recurse subdirs ─────────┘ │ │ │ Don't use a logfile ────────┘ │ │ Add a comment file ───────────┘ │ Truncate log when over 40K ────────┘ ╓────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ IMPORTANT NOTE: Anything in the STEALTH environmental variable ║ ║ will over-ride the settings in Stealth's ║ ║ CONFIG file. ║ ║ IE: If BREAKAV is set to OFF in Stealth.Cfg, ║ ║ and BREAKAV is in STEALTH's variable, then ║ ║ -AV files will be broken. ║ ╙────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ ========= USING STEALTH.CFG FILE ============================================ Included here is STEALTH.CFG, a configuration file for this program. Use the enclosed STL_CFG.EXE program for a quick and easy way to create Stealth.cfg. Just fill in the blanks, and change the values to what you like best. Press [F10] to save Stealth.cfg and exit. Now you can change it by using a text editor, and type out which options you want to use. The format is: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Put the archiver you want everything converted to. [archiver] = archiver Whereas archiver could be: PKZIP1 ARJ LHA DWC PKZIP2 PAK ZOO ARC6 LHASFX SQUEEZE ICE HAP LARC LIMIT HYPER FCOMPACT LHARC UC2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Next, put all the archives you want converted to YOUR archiver. For instance, if you put LHA here, all .LZH files will be converted. [archiver] = convert Whereas archiver could be: PKZIP1 ARJ LHA DWC PKZIP2 PAK ZOO ARC6 SQUEEZE ICE HAP LARC HYPER UC2 LIMIT LHARC --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, do you want to strip all comment files in the archivers found? NO = strip comment --------------------------------------------------------------------- And do you want to add your own comment file to the archives that are converted? NO = add comment --------------------------------------------------------------------- Then, what comment file do you want added? (leave this line out if you want to comment added) NOTE: Make sure that the filename is left justified! No spaces should be on the left of the filename! B:\COMMENT.DAV = comment file --------------------------------------------------------------------- When .EXE self-extracting archives are found, do you want them extracted? NO = executables --------------------------------------------------------------------- If PKZIP 2.0 files are found that have been compressed using "normal" compression, do you want them to be re-compressed using "EXTRA" compression? NOTE: This will immediately change your ARCHIVER to PKZIP 2.0 NO = make ZIPs -EX --------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to recurse the subdirectories? If YES, then all directories beneath the current one will be processed also! NO = recurse subdirs --------------------------------------------------------------------- As a default, STEALTH logs all activity into \STEALTH.LOG. This makes it easy to see what happened, and keep track of what went where. yes = create log file \STEALTH.LOG = log file location --------------------------------------------------------------------- Also as default, STEALTH deletes the old archives, so that your hard disk is not cluttered with old and new versions. That would make it extremely difficult to sort through them! yes = delete files --------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to scan your archives for viruses, you can utilize any of the three most popular virus scanners avaiable. Just include the "check for viruses" line, then choose one of the scanners listed below (NOTE: You can only specify one) yes = CHECK FOR VIRUS VIRUSCAN = VIRUS PROGRAM /* McAfee's */ F-PROT = VIRUS PROGRAM TBSCAN = VIRUS PROGRAM --------------------------------------------------------------------- Many PKZIP and ARJ files have a -AV seal attached to them. Most people (including SYSOPS) may not want to break those sealed files, since a "sealed file is a safe file". If a PKZIP or ARJ is -AVed, then you can be pretty sure no one has tampered with it. no = break AV files --------------------------------------------------------------------- STEALTH has an internal "archive viewer" that allows you to see what's inside an archive before/as it is processed. This will allow a clear representation of the file. Actually, the viewer is FASTER than any other I have found. Try it out! yes = list files before processing ============ ATTENTION SYSOPS =========================================== STEALTH 5.1 HAS LOADS OF NEW OPTIONS DESIGNED FOR YOU! New in this version: 1. Don't ya hate re-commenting all your files whenever you change your BBS "comment"? Stealth makes it ULTIMATELY easy. Just go to your filebase's root directory, and type: STEALTH *.* /COMM Make sure to turn on 'recurse sub' and 'comment files' in the STEALTH.CFG. Stealth automatically hunts down every file, comments them, then goes through every subdirectory! 2. The new /EVAL switch allows you to "trial run" Stealth and watch exactly what it will do with your files. 3. Searches files for FILE_ID.DIZ, DESC.SDI *.SDA or {SDA.ID} This is ideal for SySops, since many BBS programs require a "description file" to update the main file listing. Using: STEALTH *.* /ID allows quickly identifying files with no description! 4. Read and use the included QCOM, which only comments files that need it! STEALTH can save you tons of hard disk space, and serve as a processor for uploads. If some new member uploads you an ancient archive (PAK or ZOO), or some unknown self-extracting .EXE archive, how do you find out what it is? It could be a cool game that everybody likes, but the lamer has given you a useless file. STEALTH will instantly recognize the .EXE file as DWC, ZOO, PAK, ARJ, PKZIP 1.1, PKZIP 2.0, ARC, LHA, etc. Then it will convert it to your BBS's archiver, with no problem. Even embedded paths are saved! **** Included is UPLOAD.CFG configuration for upload processing **** Is your BBS's hard disk getting full? Run STEALTH as an event once a week and convert all of your PKZIP 1.1 and 2.0 "normal" compressed files to PKZIP 2.0 "EXTRA" compression! That will save MEGABYTES of space (a friend of mine saved over 2 megabytes on one directory of uploads) **** Included is EVENT.CFG configuration for event processing **** Plus you can comment all the processed files with your own BBS comment file, or simply strip the old comments from them. ========= PLEASE READ THIS! =============================================== Please think about what you put into STEALTH.CFG before starting the program. 1. If your "Archiver" and "convert" file types are the same, then all files will be processed twice: PKZIP2 = Archiver PKZIP2 = convert PAK = convert ARJ = convert because STEALTH will convert all the .ARJ and .PAK files, then convert them again because they are now PKZIP 2.0 files! IMPORTANT NOTE: If you specify MAKE ZIPS -EX, then Stealth assumes you want to use PKZIP 2.0 as your default archiver. It will process files as such! 2. If you have 20 archives with the same name: ANOTHER.PAK ANOTHER.ARJ ANOTHER.ZIP ANOTHER.SDN ANOTHER.ZOO ANOTHER.ARC all of the contents of ALL THE ARCHIVES will be converted into your new file. So, if you said: PKZIP2 = Archiver then ANOTHER.PAK's contents will be stuffed into ANOTHER.ZIP, and ANOTHER.ARJ's contents will be also. And you will lose the original files. So please don't name several archives the same file name, then include all those types in your STEALTH.CFG file! 3. Embedded directories are NOT processed if you use: yes = recurse subdirs Why? Because when you re-compress the file, then you will include all subdirectories under the current one. And if you are in the root directory, your whole hard drive will be sucked up into the new compressed file! 4. Please don't STRIP a file's comments, then ADD a comment. If you ADD a comment, then the old one is automatically deleted. 5. Please make sure ALL FILENAMES IN STEALTH.CFG are left justified! For example, your comment file should look like: ║ ║C:\PCBOARD\COMMENT.FIL ║ instead of: ║ ║ C:\PCBOARD\COMMENT.FIL ║ Because to get the filename, an ASCII 'zero' is placed wherever a 'space' character is. And the filename won't register unless it's left justified. NOTE: PKZIP 2.0 "stored" files are identical to PKZIP 1.1 format. Therefore, all 2.0 "stored" archives are flagged as version 1.1. 7. Due to the "human" nature of my C++ compiler, if you have a THICK layer of subdirectories (more than 10), and each have the exact same filenames, one or two files may be skipped. This is because the Data Transfer Area of DOS thinks that it already processed that file. This should also be fixed in the next version. 8. Also NOTE: Any unsuccessful de-compression of a file will result in the original not being erased. So if STEALTH does not get an errorlevel of 0, then it aborts the erasure process. =================== WHERE IS DWC? ========================================= UC2, ARJ, PKZIP, DWC, PAK and all the other archivers can be found at: LIMIT is also a GREAT archiver (download LIMIT10.ZIP) ╓─────┐ ╥ ┬ ║ │ ║ │ ╟─────┤ ╓──┐ ╓─╥─┐ ─╥─ ╙╖ ┌┘ ─╥─ ╥──┐ ╥ ┬ ╓─┐ ║ │ ║ │ ║ ║ ║ │ ║ ╟─┬┘ ║ │ ╙─┐ ╨ ┴ ╨ ┴ ╨ ─╨─ ╙───┘ ─╨─ ╨ ┴ ╙──┘ ╙──┘ ▄████████▄ ▄███████▄ ▄███████▄ ▄██▄ ▄██▄ (214) 606-1485 ███▀ ▀███ ████▀▀▀████ ████▀ ▀███ ████ ▄████▀ ███▄ ▄███ ███ ███ ████ ████████▀ █████████▀ ███ ███ ████ ████████▄ 1.2 GIG online ████ ▀████▄ ████▄▄▄████ ████▄ ▄███ ████ ▀████▄ Thousands of Files ▀██▀ ▀██▀ ▀███████▀ ▀███████▀ ▀██▀ ▀██▀ The ONLY antivirus Board in DFW We have: Boot disks for DOS versions 3.0 - 6.2 (IBM and Microsoft) Up to-the-minute new virus information The hottest and newest games (Apogee, Epic, + others) Download every COMM protocol imaginable - we got them all!

Here is a list of common difficulties people have written me with: 0. If you are getting the .ARC files from the Satellite Network, they DO NOT unarchive because they are version 7.0 of ARC. You MUST HAVE a registered version of ARC in order to extract these! 1. Stealth does not process ARJ files properly. You need at least version 2.39 of ARJ in order to process the switches I use. Of course, the registered Stealth offers customized switches! 2. I use STEALTH D:\FILES\*.* and nothing happens. Of course not. You must be in the directory with your archivers in order to convert them. If you want to do the above, try: D: CD\FILES STEALTH *.* 3. I used Stealth on several PKZIP 2.0 files to make them -EXTRA compressed, but nothing happened. In cases where it could be ANYTHING gone wrong, use the following special switch: STEALTH *.* /X/+ > LOGIT This will run Stealth, show technical debugging information that I need, and pipe the output into a new file called "LOGIT". Now just send the file "LOGIT" to me, along with your STEALTH.LOG, and I can sort out what the problem is. Just upload the files for me at the AntiVirus ROCK BBS, on CompuServe, or simply mail them to me at my home address on a disk (any size). 4. To extract the COMMENT.1 file when using the /GETCOM switch, Stealth 'tests' the file using the needed archiver, then strips the comment from the captured text. This may take a while when 'testing' larger archives. ============ ERRORLEVELS ================================================== When Stealth exits, it returns the following errorlevels: Errorlevel = 0 success 1 virus found 2 no files found 3 ONLY help screen printed 4 DAVETMP directory was not deleted 5 STEALTH.CFG had problems.. 6 Spawn Error 7 aborted! 99 error opening file ███████╗ ██╗ ██╗ ██████╗ ██████╗ ██████╗ ██████╗ ████████╗ ██████╗ ██╔════╝ ██║ ██║ ██╔══██╗ ██╔══██╗ ██╔═══██╗ ██╔══██╗ ╚══██╔══╝ ╚════██╗ ╓──███████╗ ██║ ██║ ██████╔╝ ██████╔╝ ██║ ██║ ██████╔╝ ██║ ▄███╔╨─╖ ║ ╚════██║ ██║ ██║ ██╔═══╝ ██╔═══╝ ██║ ██║ ██╔══██╗ ██║ ▀▀══╝ ║ ║ ███████║ ╚██████╔╝ ██║ ██║ ╚██████╔╝ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██╗ ║ ║ ╚══════╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Support for this program is available in the following ways: ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╓──┐ ╓──┐ ╓─╥─┐ ╥──┐ ╥ ┬ ╓─┐ ╥──┐ ╥──┐ ╥ ┬ ╥──┐ ║ ║ ║ ║ │ ║ ║ │ ╟──┘ ║ │ ╙─┐ ╟─ ╟─┬┘ ╙╖┌┘ ╟─ ║ ║ ╙──┘ ╙──┘ ╨ ╨ ┴ ╨ ╙──┘ ╙──┘ ╨──┘ ╨ ┴ ╙┘ ╨──┘ ║ ║ User ID: 71441,2723 ║ ║ I usually log on every other day and check my mail. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ║ ║ █ ▄▄ █▄ █ ▄▄ █▄ █ ▄▄▄▄█ ║ ║ █ ▄▄▄ █ █ ▄▄▄ █ █▄▄▄▄ █ ║ ║ █▄▄▄▄▄█ █▄▄▄▄▄█ █▄▄▄▄▄█ ║ ║ Drop me a line on the AntiVirus ROCK Bulletin Board ║ ║ David Smith (214) 606-1485 ║ ║ or (214) 606-1484 ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ▄██▄ ▄██▄ ▄███████▄ ▄█▄ ▄██▄ ║ ║ █████▄█████ ████▀▀▀████ █████ ████ ║ ║ ███████████ ████▄▄▄████ █████ ████ ║ ║ ████ ████ ███████████ █████ ████ ║ ║ ████ ████ ████ ████ █████ ████▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ║ ║ ▀██▀ ▀██▀ ▀██▀ ▀██▀ ▀█▀ ▀████████▀ ║ ║ Write to: ║ ║ ║ ║ David Smith ║ ║ 1104 Mason Dr. ║ ║ Hurst TX 76053 ║ ║ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
