- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- CheckDrive is freely distributable as long as all of its files are included
- in their original form without additions, deletions, or modifications of any
- kind, and only a nominal fee is charged for its distribution. This software
- is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.
- By using CheckDrive, you agree to accept the entire risk as to the quality and
- performance of the program.
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- CheckDrive should work with any Amiga model...I think...
- You need to have the BootBlock.brainfile installed either in the L: directory
- or the current directory.
- You also need to have the Bootblock.library installed in the LIBS: directory.
-
- INTRODUCTION:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- CheckDrive is a utility that checks a drive of your choice for
- bootblock-viruses. It's all very simple really.
- Just make sure that you have the BootBlock.brainfile and the Bootblock.library
- (preferably the latest versions) installed correctly and then type
-
- > CheckDrive [drive]
-
- where drive is the number of the drive you want to check.
- Ex: CheckDrive 1 will check DF1: for bootblock viruses.
-
- That's all folks!
- Notice that CheckDrive just checks, it doesn't remove the virus,
- you'll have to do that yourself!

- HISTORY
- ~~~~~~~
- Version 1.0 : First release.
-
- Version 1.1 : A few changes to reflect the changes made in the brainfile and
- the library.
-
- Version 1.2 : A few changes to reflect the changes made in the brainfile and
- the library.
-
- Version 1.3 : If the brainfile isn't found in L:, it will be looked for in
- (01.11.92) the current directory.
-
- Version 1.4 : CheckDrive now uses the new ReadBoot() library-function.
- (11.11.92) The executable is approx. 1 kB smaller.
-
- Version 1.5 : Now the memory for the brainfile isn't freed when the checking
- (12.12.92) is done. It will be kept in memory, so the brainfile won't
- have to be read in the next time you use CheckDrive.
- If you, after having used CheckDrive, install a new version
- of the brainfile, just do an Avail FLUSH, and the memory for
- the old brainfile will be freed, and thus the new brainfile
- will be read in when using CheckDrive again.
- If this sounds complicated, just forget it, it's not really
- important!
