- 1) Our Windows-based File System Change notifier is being tested !
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- To overcome the problem with Windows' 32-bit file access, we have implemented
- a true Windows-based File System Change notifier module. Currently, this
- module is being tested. After this test phase we will start distributing it
- to you!
-
- The problem with Windows' 32-bit file access is that the monitoring of file
- I/O operations under MS-Windows by means of TBAV-for-Windows, or monitoring
- file I/O operations in a DOS box by means of the TbScanX program will not
- work correctly if you have 32 bit file access enabled.
-
- For now, we advise you to disable 32 bit file access. You can do this by
- means of the Control Panel application (in the 386-enhanced section), or by
- starting MS-Windows with the following commandline:
-
- WIN /d:c
-
- Note that this problem only occurs when using the File I/O monitor in
- combination with 32-bit file access. TBAV-for-Windows will trap the file
- I/O activity of all Windows-based applications, or DOS applications with
- 16-bit file access.
-
-
- 2) Translating the TBAV for Windows language file
- -------------------------------------------------
- a) Those of you who want to translate the TBAV for Windows language file
- should edit the file by making using of NotePad or some other
- MS-Windows-based wordprocessor. TBAV for Windows uses the Windows
- 'SYSTEM' font for displaying text messages. The character mapping of
- this font does NOT equal the standard ASCII character set (which is
- exploited in DOS). The Windows character set can be viewed by means of
- the 'CharMap' application, which is shipped with your Windows
- distribution. The international characters in DOS and Windows are
- listed below.
- b) The detailed virus information (for example, the 'Anti-Mit' virus
- displays "707 bytes; Activates December 1st, trashing the HD.")
- cannot be translated; this information is always displayed in English.
- The detailed virus information is stored in the virus signature file,
- which is updated too often to let translators make changes to the virus
- information text.

- 3) Using TBAV-for-Windows with Windows NT or Windows95
- ------------------------------------------------------
- At this point of time, the Windows NT and Windows95 operating systems are
- NOT supported by TBAV-for-Windows. Since these operating systems should be
- downwards compatible, TBAV-for-Windows will probably work just fine. However,
- we do not garantuee the correct working of TBAV-for-Windows under these
- operating systems yet. The ThunderBYTE development team is working hard to
- adapt TBAV-for-Windows so that it can be used with Windows NT and Windows95.
