-
- THE LATEST CHANGES:
-
- If you have been using a prior release of Integrity Master, please read
- the HISTORY.DOC file to see what has change since your version.
-
- Integrity Master provides automatic international time and date support
- plus you can override the date and time format by using SetupIM.
-
- IMCHECK now provides some of the advanced directory information checking
- previously only done by IM itself. IMcheck will display dates in either
- numeric form or with alphabetic months. An even more advanced version
- of IMcheck comes with the registered version of IM.
-
- Integrity Master will now present you with the INITIALIZE rather than
- the CHECK menu if it doesn't find any integrity data in the current
- directory. This is intended to make it easier for new users, since
- you've got to initialize before you can check.
-
- Some other anti-virus products contain fragments of unencrypted viruses.
- If you get an indication of a known virus in another product, do not
- be too alarmed. In one case, IM will only report this if you ask it
- to check all files. In this case it will check a file for viruses which
- would not normally infect that type of file. If you have an anti-virus
- product in the form of an .EXE file which is infected by a virus which
- only infects .COM files, it's probably a false alarm.
