UpScan v1.50
An Upload Event for WWIV

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION│
───────────────────┘
UpScan is an external upload event for the WWIV electronic bulletin board
software by Wayne Bell. UpScan copies uploaded files into a temporary
directory. If they are compressed using either PKZIP, LHA, ARJ, the files
are tested for integrity, and decompressed. After that, all files in the
temporary directory are scanned for viruses using McAfee's Viruscan.
Lastly, archived files are commented by inserting UPSCAN.CMT, which you
provide. If UPSCAN.CMT does not exist, then the archive is stripped of any
comment. Any uncompressed files are simply virus scanned.
INSTALLATION│
────────────┘
1> Place UPSCAN.COM in your main bbs directory (where BBS.EXE is).
2> Make sure copies of PKUNZIP.EXE, PKZIP.EXE, ARJ.EXE, LHA.EXE and
SCAN.EXE are also in your path .
3> Run INIT.EXE. Select section #6. In the slot for 'upload event' put:
UPSCAN.COM %1 %2 %3 D:
where D: is your RAMDrive, if you have one. Otherwise, just put
your hard drive. Don't forget the colon directly after the letter.
4> Create a text file to serve as your archive comment. Name it UPSCAN.CMT
and place it in your main bbs directory. If you wish your archives to
be stripped of comments, do not make UPSCAN.CMT.
