UPCHECK/WWIV
Upload Event for WWIV BBS Systems

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPCHECK is extremely easy to use with WWIV. It provides virus-scanning
and zip commenting (or uncommenting) and requires very little memory to
use. You do need to have 210K when you do a Shift-F10 to DOS, but if you
have that then you're set.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
1) Copy UPCHECK.EXE to your main WWIV dir or anywhere else.
2) Run INIT and spell out the path to CHECK.EXE (or just CHECK.EXE if you
keep it in your main WWIV directory). Use this as the line in INIT:
UPCHECK %1 %2 %3
3) Make sure MacAfee's SCAN.EXE is in your path somewhere, and that you are
using the most recent version.
4) Make sure all archive extractors are in your path.
That's it. You're done. It's installed. Hard to get any easier.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using CRC-list to get rid of junk files:
If you wish to get rid of internal BBS ads/whatever within archives, then
UPCHECK will allow you to do this. Create a file called UPCHECK.CRC in the
dir where UPCHECK is executed. Inside this file should be an 8-character
representation of the 32-bit CRC value for any files you want to be purged
from archives (Rusty & Edie's ads come to mind immediately). Such a CRC
value might loook like this:
8273E7A1
You can use the program GETCRC.EXE (included) to get the value to enter into
this file for any specific file. Just run "GETCRC <filename>" and it will
spit out the 8-char CRC value for you, and the filename. You can simply
redirect this if you want, like this (for example):
GETCRC BBS.AD >> C:\WWIV\UPCHECK.CRC
Note than inside the UPCHECK.CRC file, only the first 8 chars of each line
are viewed - you can use the rest for comments or whatever, so this would be
an allowable line:
1A5B37E4 BBS ad from Rusty & Edie's
To keep speed up, only the first 1000 CRC values are actually read in. If this
becomes too limiting, let me know; it's possible to increase it, at the cost
of speed or memory.

Registration:
Registration is $10. What does registration get you? Welp, UPCHECK only
scans, by default, ZIP files. If you wish to scan ARJ, PAK, ARC, or LZH
files then you need to register. You also get my gratitude when registering
of course.
You do not need to download an entirely new UPCHECK when you register; there
is a small key insertion program that will register your UPCHECK for you,
that you gain access to when registering. Run that program (UCREG.EXE) in
that same directory as UPCHECK.EXE.
If you are registered and wish to support the above archives, then you need
the following extractors in your path:
Archive UPCHECK will look for
------- ---------------------
ZIP PKUNZIP.EXE
ARC PKXARC.COM
ARJ ARJ.EXE
LZH LHA.EXE
PAK PAK.EXE
Registrations may be sent to the following address:
Jon R. Rickher
c/o The Fellowship
7035 Ethel
St. Louis, MO 63117
This does *not* get a disk mailed to you. Rather, this will give you access
to the latest UPCHECK when you get an account on The Fellowship. The phone
number for The Fellowship is 314-644-5777. If you wish a disk mailed
to you then include an extra $5 (a total of $15). This includes international
orders. This $5 only gets you *one* mailing, however. Additional upgrades
for registered users may be downloaded or you may send another $5 along with
name and registration number for an additional mailing.
Thanks for your support.

Special thanks:
*SPECIAL* thanks to Xanth, 1@8370 for humongous amounts of assistance (hey,
he even uploaded me a virus - what a guy!).
