-
- * Fixed the bug that Labtest wouldn't find a path in the FILES.RA file
- if it was lower case
-
- * Fixed some problems with the swapping routines

-
-
- 09/15/1993
-
- * Added support for converting/testing imbedded archives
-

- more details.
-
- * Fixed a bug that caused Labtest to start acting really strange
- after it processed about 13 files when used with a wild card like *.*
-
- * Added macros in the message text to users. Sysop name, BBS Name,
- first name of the user, uploads in K, uploads in #, and some other
- configuration items can now be placed in the message to the user via
- macros. Look through the sample .MSG files for ideas on how to
- use the macros.
-
- * Added an ExitAfterGif dos hook which can be used to run a GIF file
- compression program after Labtest checks the GIF.
-
-
- 09/12/1993
-

- 09/11/1993
-
- ! Introduced version 2.4 of Labtest
-
- * Added customizable ansi/ascii display screen.
-
- * Added Before and After dos shells
-
- * Fixed a bug that was preventing Labtest from properly time stamping
- a file after processing.
-
- * Added the option of appending the uploader's name to the file
- description (only if a file_id.diz was found).
-
- * Made the Docs look better.
-
- 09/06/1993
-
- Here is a brief list of changes in this version of Labtest:
-
- * Set the archive date to the system date, oldest file date, newest
- file date or the original archive date
-
- * If defined by the sysop, will not rearchive files that are secured
- by an ARJ Security Envelope. ZIP -AV is not currently supported.
-
- * Uses a control file to define the dos command line to execute to
- add an archive comment. This gives the sysop much more flexibility
- because there are more efficient programs out there that add archive
- comments than the archivers themselves. Also leaves much room
- for growth should archive utility makers like LHA add this feature to
- their archivers.
-
- * Fixed the carrier watching so that carrier detect is disabled after
- the unregistered prompt appears. If the user drops carrier during
- processing, Labtest will continue until done.
-
- * Turned off user timeout. Previously Labtest would log the user off
- and quit if the timeout was exceeded.
-
- * Added DEBUG mode, additional system information is written to the
- log file when run with the /D switch.
-
- * Labtest can now optionally process the FILE_ID.DIZ descriptions,
- removing high ascii characters, extra spaces and carriage return/line
- feeds. This makes the description better suited for RA to display.
-
- * Labtest can be set up to compress files that are either uncompressed,
- of an unknown archive type or are an executable file.
-
- * Added the option to convert self extracting files. If the file is
- secured by ARJ security envelope, the security option pertains.
-
- * Labtest can now set a flag or change the user's security level should
- an uploaded file fail the virus scan. This feature only pertains to
- the virus scanning portion of Labtest.
-
- * Labtest was erroneously writing "Could not delete old file" to the log
- file after processing was complete. Fixed.
-
- * Added age checking based on number of years. Files older than x
- amount of years are rejected.
-
- 08/24/1993
-
- * Dropped support for other BBS systems, now spefically written for
- Remote Access 2.00
-
- * Obtains most of the configuration information from CONFIG.RA and
- FILES.RA.
-
- * Uses default archive type as defined in RACONFIG, reverts to type
- defined in LABTEST.CFG if nothing is defined in RACONFIG.
-
- * Switched to a text file based configuration system. Allows thorough
- commenting of the configuration and makes it easier on the author!
-
- * Added file date checking and internal file date checking. When
- Labtest unpacks an archive, it checks the dates of all the extracted
- files. If any file fails the date check, the whole archive fails.
-
- * Added minimum GIF resolution requirement. Sysop can now reject ugly
- GIF files!
-
- * Added the ability to write a lengthy message to the user concerning
- the upload. Sample message files are included. Labtest can also
- write a message to the sysop concerning the uploaded file. Both of
- these options can be turned off completely in LABTEST.CFG.
-
- * Added the ability to add or delete files from an archive file.
-
- * Better support for multi-node systems
-
- * Now looks for DESC.SDI, DESC.SDN, and FILE_ID.DIZ descriptions,
- importing them directly into the file database.
