THD ProScan History
-------------------
Aug 20, 1992 - Ver 1.00 - First official release
- a command.com compatible counterpart to
the THDscan series of upload testers.
Sept 28, 1992 - Ver 2.00 -
Bugfix - Insert current directory for some "found" utilities
during install.
Bugfix - Fixed error when extensions not supplied during
installation.
Bugfix - Added conditional delay to the program, to allow the
ansi screen to complete on fast systems.
Bugfix - Stopped upper imbedded indicator from flashing during
the entire embedded archive testing process.
Bugfix - Fixed some errors in the "move" routines which could
cause runtime errors.
Bugfix - Redirected Scan.exe's output as it seems to find gateway
if it is installed.
Bugfix - The tester now requires a drive and path before it will
begin operation.
Added - Errorlevel 5 to retain compatibility with BBS programs which
use this as an indicator that a file is to be resumed.
Added - Support for NON-ansi users.
Added - Removed any attempt to send user output when a fossil is
not found.
Added - Internal archive identification by ID codes rather than
the previous use of extension . (also allows testing of
self-extracting archives)
Added - The ability to preserve the AV in protected ZIP files.
Added - The ability to fail files based on date.
Added - Reporting of the BBS-name through the user-side ansi.
Oct 27, 1992 - Ver 3.0 -No additions (Streamlined code and bugfixes)
Bugfix - Internal archives which were not configured for, caused
the system to choke with a runtime error. Fixed.
Bugfix - A runtime error #6 was reported by a limited number of
systems (using Share.exe). Repaired.
Bugfix - A file failing the scan operation was still being
reported as having failed scanning by "VER 1" (whoops).
Bugfix - Some optimizing of code resulting in a smaller exe file.
Nov 15,1992 - Ver 4.0 - Emergency release to fix a problem with Scan
Bugfix - The redirection of SCAN.EXE's output introduced in Version
2 was removed due to problems with detection errorlevels
not being returned to the tester correctly under MS-DOS's
command.com.
Bugfix - The ansi screen now correctly identifies the version.
Version 3 reported version 2 on the ansi screen.
Feb 1,1993 - Ver 5.0 - Standard update
Added - Installation can now read settings from the previous
version of THDPRO.EXE and incorporate them into the present
version. (only version 4 is supported for this feature)
Added - Support for the new PKZIP 204e self extracting files.
As a result Version 5 absolutely requires PKZIP version
204e for the testing of "ZIP" archives.
Added - A hack list can now be used (such as the "HACK REPORT")
to avoid testing files with filenames that you do not want
sent to your system. (files will fail but be saved)
Added - The ability to supply a comport from the commandline to
override the default when being used on a multi-node system.
Added - The use of comport "0" to suppress remote output.
Added - THD ProScan now displays the name of the file being tested
before testing begins as well as informing the sysop when
testing has been completed.
Bugfix - Internal delays were lengthened for those systems with fast
computers and slow communications.
Bugfix - Previous versions would choke on illegal filenames (fixed).
