WHAT IS SNAPSHOT?
SnapShot is a 'startup-utility' aimed at harddisk
users, and is a SUPPLEMENT (NOT a replacement) to a
good virus checker/killer. It can also be used by
floppy users, but is intended to be used on a
harddisk system. SnapShot is not only automatic,
it's also much, much faster than a conventional virus
checker.
Snapshot will automatically check your harddisk for
viruses every day, week, month or whatever intervals
you decide. If the disk structure is not 100%
identical to what SnapShot expects to find you will
get a message telling you that something is wrong,
and you can do a more extensive check of the disk.
The advantage over other virus checker programs is
that SnapShot will do this automatically, say every
week. So if you forget(?) to check your harddisk for
viruses, SnapShot will do it for you!!
REMARK: SnapShot will find "ALL"...new unknown viruses too!!!
ATTENTION: SnapShot is special very excellent for BBS purpose
to avoid hacking by the new very used infiltrator
programs, which enables a hacker to take over your
bulletin board.

HOW TO USE SNAPSHOT.
Before you can use SnapShot you must be sure that
your system is 100% virusfree. I personally prefer to
use 'Virus_Checker' by John Veldthuis to make sure
that my system is virusfree. SnapShot is used in two
ways. First you have to use the 'update' parameter to
take a snapshot of your system. After the snapshot
is taken you can put SnapShot in your 'startup-seq-
uence'. See below.
THE SYNTAX OF SNAPSHOT IS AS FOLLOWS:
SnapShot <partition> <[update]|[0 1 . 31]> <switches>
where the parameters has the following meanings:
<partition> = The harddisk partition (or floppy drive) to use. (The
one you start up from.)
<[update]> = This is the parameter you use to take a snapshot of
the disk. This is used only the first time you use
SnapShot, or when you have done any changes on the
disk. More about this later.
<[0 1 .. 31]> = This is the parameter(s) you use in the 'startup-
sequence'. The 1 .. 31 is the dates that you want the
system checked for viruses. If you use 0 here it will
check always.
<switches> = The switches tells SnapShot what/where to check for
viruses. They are as follows:
-r This switch is if you want to include the 'root' of
the disk. (dh0: dh1: Workbench: etc.)
-c This switch is if you want to include the 'c'
directory of the di
