VirusZ III 0.94ß
- Short Documentation -
This documentation only tells you how to use the new filecheck invented with
VirusZ III 0.94ß.
Is there anyone willing to produce a documentation for VirusZ III? I do not
have enough time to do so.
IMPORTANT:
----------
VZ III 0.94ß does not support the following features yet:
- creating reports
- file check via ARexx
- file check via Shell template
- sector check
Please ignore the related preferences options.
BASIC INFORMATION:
------------------
The new filecheck had to be embedded in an asyncronous environment, thus all
checking 'loops' in the earlier versions had to be replaced by 'open' code
that returns to the main signal processing loop after every run.
The filecheck now processes so-called 'jobs' that are internally stored in a
linked list and processed step by step. If you select files from the
requester opened after a call to 'Project/File Check' menu, the result of
this request will be sent to the job list and processed if all other jobs
are done. So you now can already select new files/drawers while the others
are still checked.
These features will become even more important with file checking via ARexx
or Shell because these will also just send jobs to the joblist and then wait
until the jobs are done to return a result.
The filecheck window must be opened for all those actions and can stay open
after a job is finished, the next job will continue printing information
right after the previous one then.
FILE CHECK WINDOW:
------------------
This main window is divided in three parts: the path and file information
at the top, the log output in the middle and the action buttons at the
bottom.
If one or more jobs have been added to the joblist, VZ will open the window
and start processing the selected files. The path and file VZ currently
works on are displayed at the top. In the middle you get information about
what VZ does to the current file.
With the 'Stop' button you can stop checking (what else :-), then you may
'Continue' or 'Exit'.
The 'Stop' button is delayed until the current file is finished! This also
means checking archive cannot be interrupted. The 'Stop' button reacts, after
the archive check is finished.
Attention: If there are more than one job in the joblist, they will
currently all be removed without a security request, if you press 'Exit'.
GENERAL/REPORT PREFS:
---------------------
Here you can select the checking mode:
- 'Interactive Mode' will ask before every important action (write/delete).
- 'Auto-Kill Viruses' will auto-kill viruses :-) Be careful with that!
- 'Test-Only Mode' will report viruses, but ignore them completely.
With 'Skip Subdirectories' enabled, VZ will not go any deeper than one step
in directories.
The 'History Size' tells VZ how many lines should be reserved for the log.
You can then scroll back and have a second look at as many lines as you
entered here.
Report options are currently useless!!
DECRUNCH PREFS:
------------------------
The 'Decrunch Executables' and 'Decrunch Data Files' options do just what
they are called :-) They use those external slaves that they are told to
with the radio buttons at the right side.
You can 'Skip Crypted Files' to have a full test-only mode (see above).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> INFORMATION FOR BETA-TESTERS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Just run the new filecheck on your Amiga, try some different settings and
tell me about possible crashes, enforcer hits etc.
Everything works fine on my Amiga, but one never knows...
If you have some more ideas (except the ones not added yet), please let me
know.
One problem I found myself is speed: The output via the listview gadget
provided by gadtools.library is very slow. But I want to have a scrollable
display to give the user the possibility to go back a bit and review what VZ
did.
If anyone has a better idea how to speed up output a bit, please tell me.
