Labtest 2.5c as of 09-20-93
* Finally added routines to update the FDB file date field to reflect the
actual file date.
* Added the option to turn the user's flag either on or off. See LABTEST.CFG
* 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
* Fixed the strange way Labtest was indicating it was repacking the archive
when it was actually scanning imbedded files (Thanks Jamie Willingham!)
09/15/1993
* Added support for converting/testing imbedded archives
* Added better handling of GIF files. See the LABTEST.CFG file for
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
* Added PKZIP -AV checking
* Added Dos Window function to make the Sysop screen more pleasing
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.
