________________________________________________________________________
FICHECK/MFICHECK are evaluation versions. The commercial version is
XFICHECK - or super eXtended File Integrity Check.
These are evaluation copies only. You are invited to try these programs
for 30 days to get a feel for the quality you'll be getting when you
order our commercial version. The price is only $15, but it's the best
$15 you could ever spend!
________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to the all new (version 4.0) of our File Integrity Checking
System! If you're new to FICHECK/MFICHECK, simply turn on your printer
and enter the following on the DOS command line:
COPY FICHECK4.DOC PRN
This will print the documentation for version 4.0 of FICHECK/MFICHECK on
your printer. 19 pages will be printed (cover, announcements, table of
contents, and 16 numbered pages) - you'll need 20 pages available since
a form feed is the first character sent to the printer.
YOU MUST READ THE DOCUMENTATION IN ITS ENTIRITY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE
ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you've used a previous version of FICHECK/MFICHECK:
You'll still need to print and read the documentation - it's been
completely re-written, and new features have been added!
Version 4.0 of FICHECK/MFICHECK is upward compatible with version 3.0 of
FICHECK/MFICHECK - this means you won't have to re-create any of your
old logs (which was required for the upgrade from version 2.0 to 3.0).
New features since version 3.0:
CRC (FICHECK) and MCRC (MFICHECK) are now checked and logged for the
master boot record/partition table in addition to all the previous
features.
Reports now include disk available space, increased/decreased disk space
available since the last time FICHECK/MFICHECK was run, and FAT (file
allocation table) ID byte.
FICHECK/MFICHECK can check themselves for validity on request.
Screen can be changed to force the elimination of background color (on
color monitors), and can be forced to work with nonstandard monitors.
When Using your older, version 3.0 logs with this version (4.0), it will
act just like version 3.0 (except that you'll get a message on the
report stating that "disk space/boot record info report is not
possible"). This message is normal when used with 3.0 logs, and will
disappear when you re-create logs with version 4.0 (which will also
activate the new features). Version 3.0 can also work with version
4.0's logs because the additional features of version 4.0 are logged
into a separate file.
Fixes from version 3.0:
The hard-coded blue background color for the screen caused the internal
wording to be unreadable on some monochrome screens - this has been
fixed and will automatically eliminate the blue background when a
monochrome screen is detected (automagically).
When all files of a subdirectory have been deleted AND that subdirectory
itself was removed, files within that subdirectory were incorrectly
reported as being deleted from its parent directory - fixed in ver 4.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A third help screen has been added when you start FICHECK/MFICHECK with
the "/help" option.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FICHECK/MFICHECK Limitations:
Up to 695 directories per logical drive
Up to 695 files per directory (no limit on files per logical drive)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
End.
