---------[ WHAT'S NEW IN ArchiveLAB ]---------
version 1.26:
+ Added direct support for RA v2.00. (Option 'System RA2' and
'System RA2FAST').
+ Extended debugging log can be enabled (Option 'Debug').
+ Added option 'Yell <page tune file>'. ALAB will now page the sysop
if a virus is found (and the paging hours allows it).
+ Added option 'LocalUpload <COPY|MOVE>'.
+ Trimmed the file transfer statistics description line.
+ If an archive does not have an extension, ALAB will skip scanning
it. Fixed.
+ FILE_ID.DIZ importing is now enabled in evaluation version.
+ FDOOR.EXE can now be run from the DOS prompt for local uploads.
+ FDOOR's temporary directory is now created in the working
directory as specified in ALAB.CFG.
version 1.25:
+ Now supports the ThunderByte Anti-Virus Scanning package (Option
'Scanner').
+ Able to log virus-scanning summary/report to specified log file
(Option 'ScanLog').
+ Able to make use of Hack Report's ASCII listing to fail uploads
that are suspected hacks/trojans (Option 'UseHackReport').
+ Able to make use of a specific reject listing (can be FileDoor's
upload log file) to reject uploads (Option 'RejectList').
+ Screen colours are now configurable. See ALAB.CFG for more details.
+ Now able to add a prefix (eg File Counter) to the start of any
multi-line description (Option 'DIZPrefix <string>').
+ Posting of a message to the sysop describing the failed upload(s)
is now available with the registered version.
+ Now informs the user to read the message area if some files failed
the test and 'InformUser' is enabled.
+ Tested with PKZIP v2.04g maximal compression mode. Now preserves
hidden, system, and read-only attributes during recompression.
+ StripAV now strips PKZIP v2.xx archives properly.
+ Minor change so FileDoor won't ask for a file description if ALAB
finds a FILE_ID.DIZ. Make sure you turn off 'InternalOverUser' in
FileDoor.CFG for this to work.
+ Added 19.2K entry in file transfer statistics display.
+ More stable memory swapping when HD is short of space.
+ Fixed a problem with the error #105 returned when 'InformUser' is
not turned on.
+ Fixed bug in which importing of FILE_ID.DIZ cannot be turned off in
registered versions.
+ When rearchiving, an error concerning writing to ExitInfo.BBS will

carrier.

their extension.

upload directory.
+ ArchiveLAB now has protection for developers that prevent their
archives from being altered.
+ Reduced memory requirements.
+ Fixed occasional hanging problem.
version 1.23:
There is no official v1.23 release as there were many different beta
copies on some boards. Please discontinue the use of any 1.23 you
might find as it might be 1) unstable, 2) hacked.
version 1.22:
+ Made compatible with FileDoor v3.01. Make sure you change the
'System' option in ALAB.CFG to reflect either 'FD2' (for XFD v2.xx)
or 'FD3' (for XFD v3.01).
+ 'OverWrite'/'NoOverWrite' options added in ALAB.CFG to
allow/disallow adding of advert files which already exists.
+ Fixed MaxRePackSize bug.
version 1.21:
+ Added option to swap ALAB out of memory in memory-tight situations.
Make sure you update your CFG file to reflect the new options.

via option 'Repack' in ALAB.CFG. (Registered feature)
+ Now has option to move bad files without renaming them via
'MoveBadFiles' in ALAB.CFG
+ Cosmetic problems under DV. Corrected.
+ Aborted uploads were often reported as failed age constrain. Fixed.
+ Error when dealing with zero-byte files/archives. Fixed.
+ Local uploads under FileDoor now emulated.

+ Ability to add uploader's name into description. Registered only.
+ Ability to add GIF/JPG's resolution and colours into description.
Registered version only.
+ Dates of BBS advertisment files were counted for age constraint.
Thus, many files were passed when they in fact contain files older
than specified but with only one file newer. Fixed.
+ More efficient SCANning for virus.
+ Supports SCAN /EXT virus scanning for new and unknown viruses using
an virus ID file.
+ Minor cosmetic changes.
+ StripAV was deleting files on systems using many different
drives/directories. Fixed.
+ More accurate JPG file structure analysis. Support for HSI's JPEG
format added (used by GIF2JPG v1.5 and up)
+ Many new options added to ALAB.CFG. Please replace and reconfigure.
Also please refer to the documentation for installation (it has been
changed since v1.10).
version 1.10a/v1.10b/v1.10c:
+ Multiple GIF/JPG within archive will cause an error. Fixed.
