- ZipLab Plus version 2.ß (BETA)
- What's new from version 1.9c
-
- Warning!
-
- * You MUST start over and configure from scratch. Read BETA.DOC for
- tips on getting started, and ZIPLAB.DOC for installation details.
-
- * ZipLab Plus now requires that your configuration files (formerly
- PTEST.CFG) follow the ZLABxxx.CFG naming convention (where "xxx"
- is a conference number, and the default for all conferences being
- "000" if one specific to them is not found).
-
- * ZLABxxx.CFG is has many changes from the old PTEST.CFG format. DO
- NOT try to modify your old PTEST.CFG, just recreate it with ZSET.EXE.
-
- * The command line for ZLAB.EXE in PCBTEST.BAT (or PROUTEST.BAT) is
- different. Please make note in ZIPLAB.DOC.
-
- Changes - in no particular order
-
- * Much faster overall.
- * Less disk "thrashing" while testing
- * Now fully integrated with the ZDCS duplicate checker by Mike Cocke
- * Supports use of virus checking programs other than SCAN.EXE if desired.
- * Mail message now sent to the user on test failure.

- * Handles the new PKZip/UnZip 2.0

- * Local screen handling improved.
- * Now fully conference specific if desired.
- * Displays "bbs ads" removed to the user and sysop.
- * Completely reworked CRC checking and bbs ad filename checking.
- * Takes modem "offhook" if the user hangs up during testing.
- * Custom .ZIP comments can now have imbedded special @ZCODES.
- * ZCRC.EXE included to help find file CRC-32 for bbs ad checking.
- * Files which fail testing get a .ZIP comment with the reason for failure.
- * .ARJ processing improved.
- * Error trapping and reporting vastly improved.
- * Non archive files which are "passed" now have both virus and date checking.
