│░ REVISION HISTORY ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└─────────────────────────────────┘
I don't have a BBS any more so the updates have been few and far between.
New E-mail address, Web Page, and Telnet BBS support site.
E-mail: BOOMER923@aol.com
Web site: http://members.wwc.net/freefall/pfed (under construction)
BBS: telnet://robber.erols.com/
v0.80 04/04/97 - Make sure to run setup once or it won't run right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Added a page for external archivers setup. You can add the full path or
or specify a new filename as long it uses the same switches as original.
NOTE: Make sure to replace CRCTEST.BAT with new one in archive!
- Replaced support for GIF Testing (GIFTEST) with a new graphic image tester.
GFXCHK by Stacy Smith. It can test .BMP's, .GIF's, and .JPG's.
- Added full support for Bitmap images - testing and adding resolutions.
- Wasn't getting all JPEG image stats - Fixed
- Fully removed testing of embedded .RAR's, can't test properly without
testing the complete multi-disk set.
- RAM-Drive use applies to virus-scanning and archive repacking. (Aeon)
- Delete filenames with Hi-bit chars now only deletes if more than one
hi-bit character (safer)
v0.72 08/20/96 - maintenance release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Improved testing of internal ARJ files, intended to improve testing
of internal RAR's (Ex: R01...) but they can't be tested seperately so
removed any internal RAR testing entirely. (Sorry Mr. Bill)
- PCBUSER2.ANS updated
v0.71 02/07/96 - maintenance release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- MAJOR BUG: Any file to be zapped that contained a path error BOOMLAB
out with a Error #5 - Fixed. (Fiat)
- If there was a blank line in the Random BBS Ad text file it would cause
any text file in the archive to be deleted - Fixed, now must contain a
minimum of 3 characters. (Fiat)
- 'List of files NEVER to be ZAPPED' now supports wildcards. (Aeon&Flux)
v0.70 11/28/95 - minor update
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
■- BOOMLAB v.70 - If a FILE_ID.DIZ is in a path inside the archive it will
now use it if there is no FILE_ID.DIZ in the main dir. (Stratocaster)
- If BOOMLAB has to move a file (to bad path or using move option with LOCAL
switch) it will now check if it was moved ok before deleting source file.
- F-Prot scan all files switch was corrected to /ALL from /A. (Falcon)
(v0.69a - 10/18/95)
■- BOOMLAB v.69a - Added 4 GIF/JPG macros: |GI = Type/Version, |GW = Width,
|GH = Height, |GC = # colors. Can be used with the new 'Add GIF/JPG info
to desc' macro file (Bsetup pg #4) to add the type & resolution to desc.
Ex: |gi - [|gwX|ghX|gc] Adds: GIF v.89a - [320X200X256]
- Added more space to define 'Uploaded by' string. (J. Lowrey)
- If 'Replace DIZ if stripped' is enabled and only blank lines are stripped
the DIZ will not be replaced.
v0.69 10/10/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
■- BOOMLAB v.69 - Added option 'Add a DIZ if none found' (BSetup Pg #2)
If enabled a FILE_ID.DIZ will be created using the uploader's file
description and it will be inserted into the archive.
- BUG: When uncompressed files are compressed only the 1st description
line was kept - Fixed. (Doyen/Keith Winter)
- BUG: If using 'Framing' option and file was not a archive or didn't have a
FILE_ID.DIZ it wasn't framed. Now uses uploader's description. (J. Lowrey)
- BUG: Fixed some BOOMLAB display bugs dealing with ZAPPING bbs ads.
- BUG: BOOMLAB would Fatal Error #5 when processing a .COM over 50K -Fixed.
- Took out /OLD swith for F-PROT, registered version won't accept it. (Fiat)
- Added BOOMLAB support for TBWEEDER. TBWEEDER is used by virus BBS's
to eliminate duplicate .EXE & .COM files that have been renamed. If a
dupe is uploaded it will be deleted and no credit given. (Falcon)
- Added support for AVPLite v2.2 virus scanner, uses a lot less memory than
regular AVP. Should now be able to use it from PFED. (Falcon)
- If uploading files locally from inside PCBoard then LOCAL options will
apply such as 'Dupe Check Local UL's' and 'Add Uploader to Local UL'.
v0.68 09/12/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
■- BOOMLAB v.68 - Added a setup option (Pg #4) to set 'Path to LOG files'.
- Added 'ZAP filenames containing Hi-bit chars (Pg #1) If enabled any file
containing hi-bit ASC characters in their filenames will be deleted.
- Included a new display file for showing progress to user: PCBUSER2.ANS
It uses 2 new macros |PM (Progress meter) & |PP (%) to show progress.
Define which display file you wish to use on Page #4 of BOOMLAB setup.

└─────────────────────────────────────┘
- Improved the way display progress files work. It now reads the macro file
displays it once then only updates anything following a 'LOOP_' each time.
LOOP_[21;5H[0;32m|bm[34]
- BOOMLAB now checks integrity of TeleDisk .TD0 files. Requires TDCHECK.EXE.
- BUG: BOOMLAB would try ZIPing a file if it had no extension. (Keith Winter)
- PROBLEM: If a virus name started with "POSSIBLY A VARIANT OF ","DAMAGED ",
"SEEMS TO BE A ", or "DROPPER OF " it wasn't displayed - Fixed. (Falcon)
v0.67 08/26/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- BUG: If no reg key found, BOOMLAB would error out at some point - Fixed.
- PKZIP will try and use the Novell Netware server CPU when possible, which
can cause files to be corrupted or doubles their size. Added option to
disable use of server CPU use on page #4 of BSETUP. (Bionic)
- Can age test by percentage, if a % files are older than age check, then
the file will fail. Enter in the format %75 or %50. (Iron Steal)
- BOOMLAB doesn't error out if config files needs updating, it will display
warning, beep twice and continue.
v0.66 08/23/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
■- BOOMLAB v.66 - You can now define different config files by adding it to
the command line. Ex: BSETUP CONF1.CFG Name MUST include extension .CFG
Then add the full path & filename to the config path in PCBTEST.BAT file.
You can also use the following 2 macros on the command line so you can
use different config files for conference or node file was uploaded to:
@uc - Conference # file was uploaded to.
@un - Node # file was uploaded to.
Ex: BOOMLAB D:\PFED\CONF@UC.CFG UPLOAD %2 %1 %3 D:\PCB
^^^^^^^^^^^
- Added a new BOOMLAB macro |uc = conference # file was upload to.
- If a uploaded text file has a FILE_ID.DIZ description embedded in it
(@BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZ) BOOMLAB can now extract it. (Qube)
- McAfee's SCAN uses DDA-Direct Disk Access, not allowed under Windows '95
so I've added a option to disable it on page #3 of BSETUP. (Dark Visage)
- Added support for AVP. (AntiVirus Toolkit PRO) Only works correctly if
registered, may not work from PFED but will work if used from BOOMLAB.
- PROBLEM: Couldn't scan non-archived files with Dr. Solomon -Fixed. (Falcon)
- PROBLEM: If a virus name started with 'POSSIBLY A' or 'SEEMS TO BE AN' or
'THIS VIRUS IS LIKE' it wasn't displayed - Fixed. (Falcon)
- BOOMLAB now uses 5k less memory....well every little bit helps ;)
- Replace DIZ if stripped was case-sensitive - Fixed.
v0.65 08/01/95
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
■ - Added 2 new FILE DESCRIPTION options: (See BOOMLAB.DOC for more)
1.) Replace DIZ in archive if stripped: <Y/N> - If lines or text
are removed from a DIZ (in the next two options) this option
will replace the the DIZ in the archive with new stripped DIZ.
2.) Path\filename of macro file to 'Frame' description: This option
re-writes the file description using an external macro file. Can
be used to 'frame' or add box graphics to the file description.
If using this option make sure to enable 'smart' word-wrapping.
Example Output of 'BLUEBOX' macro found in SAMPLES.ZIP:

■ - Fixed bug with external archive converter support: DIZ desc. became
merged with user's description. Also if using the BOOMLAB 'LOCAL'
switch it would delete the entire output (DIR) file. (Jim Wilson)
* - BOOMLAB cannot support Norton AntiVirus 3.0+, only 2.1 works.
v0.64 07/23/95 ■- BOOMLAB v.64 - Lot of people where getting ERROR #75's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was caused by the FILE_ID.DIZ from SCN_224E.ZIP
It couldn't be deleted so following files errored out.
'ATTRIB +A -R' resets it - Fixed. (Qube/Stratocaster)
■- If archiver program wasn't found or couldn't run BOOMLAB
exited with FATAL ERROR #53. BOOMLAB now reports why.
- Added support for external archive converters. Internal
converter doesn't support paths & only converts to ZIP's
so external converter may be desired. (See BOOMLAB.DOC)
- Added macros |fp = file path, |ff = full path & filename.
- After repack, archive not recognized by PCB v15.1+ -Fixed.
- RAR formats can now be repacked to ZIP. (Mr. Fixit)
- BOOMDOS.EXE was incorrect version - Fixed.
v0.63 07/20/95 ■- BOOMLAB v.63 - Graphics for Failed file descriptions can
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ now be added from external file 'DESCFAIL.MSG'. All
macros supported. A sample can be found in SAMPLES.ZIP.
- Added BSETUP option, 'Quit Scanning after virus detected'
If using multiple scanners, 'Y' quits after any virus
detected. 'N' runs all scanners. (See BOOMLAB.DOC)
- Added 2 new macros for multiple scanners, |s# & |v#.
|s1,|s2,|s3 etc - Program name & version for each scanner.
|v1,|v2,|v3 ... - Virus Scan results for each scan.
- Added support for Norton AntiVirus. Tested with v2.1
- Large USERS file caused BOOMLAB to error #63 when
trying to get PCBALIAS info - Fixed? (Old Gringo)
- If virus detected and the name of virus not found BOOMLAB
reported 'PASSED' now reports 'VIRUS INFECTED!'
- Description files in paths caused problems, BOOMLAB now
won't attempt to read any DIZ that is in a path.
- Can now not only <S>trip MCI | pipe colors but <C>onvert
them to PCBoard's @X color codes.
- Fixed nasty bug where if BOOMLAB Fails a PCB Mail ATTACHed
file and you were using FILESYS.PPE = PCBoard Locked up.
- When adding file's description as a FILE_ID.DIZ if it
already contained a DIZ, file date will be preserved.
- If file fails integrity check, then it will not be DUPE
CHECKED. (if enabled) So if another uploader uploads a
good copy it will not fail DUPE CHECK. (Doyen)
- Sometimes only got partial virus name using F-PROT -Fixed.
- Compressing uncompressed .EXT's was case-sensitive - Fixed.
- When uploading Non-ZIP's to PCB and repacker is enabled new
name of file wasn't passed - Fixed. Now repack's RAR's.
v0.62 06/11/95 ■- BOOMLAB v.62 - Added Support for .RAR archive format.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - If passthru feature is enabled the original date of the
FILE_ID.DIZ will now be maintained. Requires
PASSTHRU.EXE to be in the same dir as the BOOMLAB.CFG
- [PCB ONLY] Added new option: Delete files without
descriptions (Y/N). If enabled all uploaded files
without descriptions either manually entered or not
containing a description file will be deleted.
- If using 'LOCAL' switch - FAILED MOVES & DELETES will
prompt "Confirm <Y/N>" if local confirm is enabled.
- LCASE 'file_id.diz' might be deleted as random ad -Fixed.
- Updated TBSCAN command line in BOOMSCAN.BAT. (Stratocaster)
- BSETUP now checks if virus scanner program is correct.
- Fixed some duplicate BOOMLAB transaction log entries.
- Fixed a new bug with age checker: Non-ZIPS caused problems.
v0.61 05/27/95 ■- BOOMLAB v.61 - Got many reports about ERROR #54 while
it tries to ZAP random BBS ads, I believe it's fixed now.
- BOOMLAB wasn't ZAPPING files if file date was 00-00-80
- If random BBS ad contained ASC char 255 it wouldn't delete.
- Added new option, 'List of files never to be ZAPPED'
(BSETUP pg #1) Sometimes during a random BBS ad text
search a file such as a Group's .NFO file is ZAPPED.
To prevent this add it to this list. One entry per line.
- When ZIPing uncompressed files, new filename was not found
in PCBoard and was left offline. It also now doesn't try
to compress uncompressed files if ATTACHED to PCB mail.
v0.60 04/28/95 ■- Added BOOMLAB option to add 'Pass-Thru' text to
FILE_ID.DIZ Ex: 'File passed through MY LAME BBS!' All
BOOMLAB macros are supported. I don't want to promote
use of this I think it's stupid but I keep getting asked
for it. If you re-process your files a lot locally you
should put this text or part of it in the 'STRIPDIZ' file
so you won't get multiple pass-thru lines - Understand?
- Added BOOMLAB option: 'Uncompressed extensions to compress'
add any uncompressed extensions you would like compressed
to ZIP. Enter .EXT's (include period) Ex: .COM.EXE.TXT
■- Added support for Ansicheck Ansi Bomb checker (ACHKDIR)
It's VERY slow and gives a lot of false possible ansi
bombs but it will do till I find a better one. (Misfit)
■- If virus scan result was 'NO FILES!' the FILESYS.PPE
considered the file to have failed - Fixed (Fiat)
v0.59 04/24/95 ■- Added support for PCBoard PSA 'PCBALIAS', in the setup
(Page #2, option #16) enter the path to the USERS file.
Ex: D:\PCB\MAIN\ to enable. If a user has entered their
alias, this name will be used for 'uploaded by' name.
- Added new option to 'Strip MCI | color codes <Y/N>?'
- If smart word-wrap enabled Text such as '%%%%' and '^^^^'
is detected as ASC Graphics, and not word-wrapped.
- Searching some Random BBS ads caused Fatal Error #6-Fixed.
v0.58 03/23/95 ■- Deleting BBS Ads is now slightly faster. 10-20%
- If '-*-' was added to ZAPFILES list BOOMLAB deleted all
volume labels and subdirs - Fixed. (Wildchild)
- Added option 'Text to replace in DIZ's' this works like
the DIZ Lines Remover but only removes the exact text
string with nothing, it does not remove the whole line.
v0.57 03/11/95 ■- BOOMLAB v0.57 - When BOOMLAB exits it will now display
and/or log whether the file PASSED or FAILED.
- [PCB] Added support for an external 'PCBFAIL.MSG' file
displayed in PCBoard when a file fails. Did it quickly
if you can do better, send it to me ;)
- [PCB] If running other tests before BOOMLAB, and it fails
(A PCBFAIL.TXT already exists) BOOMLAB will fail the file.
- If running BSETUP only and F2 (Edit Text) is pressed it
now allows the user to define a text editor. (Mr.Humble)
- LOCAL mode: if WARNING message is added it's also added
to all files that follow it - Flag reset (MISFIT)
v0.56 03/04/95 ■- MAJOR BUG: BOOMLAB didn't delete BBS ad files if 'Display
progress to BBS callers' was enabled - Fixed. (Mr. Humble)
- Some temporary files left behind (PCBUSER.#) are now
deleted and comm routines may be faster on some systems??
- If using multiple virus scanners they can now be defined
in the BSETUP program. Bug from 55b fixed. (Mr. Humble)
- If file failed a test & both LOG & Move FAILED file to path
were enabled program errored & halted -Fixed. (MADMAN T)
- If ZIP Comment file not found it would error out.
v0.55 02/21/95 ■- ARJ READ-ONLY FILES....Found a problem with ARJ files,
Unlike ZIP's ARJ files don't mask the read-only attribute
BOOMLAB then couldn't delete the files or remove the
subdir, and it will soon fill up your hard-drive! Did a
quick fix using 'ATTRIB -R *.*' if read-only is detected.
- Added DISK.ID as a description file to scan for.
- If for random ads is enabled any text file containing the
macro @BEGIN_FILE_ID.DIZ/@END_FILE_ID.DIZ is detected
as a description file, used in Amiga circles. (Tosh10)
- BOOMLAB could lock up when stripping @ codes.
v0.54 02/19/95 ■- If no FILE_ID.DIZ desc file, BOOMLAB errored out with
ERROR #52 - Fixed. (Stratocaster/Doyen/Dragon Master)
- When testing a embedded archive in a recursive path
BOOMLAB errored with ERROR #76 - Fixed (Highbinder)
- Increased some memory paramaters to prevent lockups.
- Added support for a privileged user list, users in list
that have failed files get credit and files are posted.
- Added 2 options to fine-tune local processing:
- Duplicate Check local uploads (Y/N)
- Confirm FAILED files move or delete (Y/N) (R. Murray)
- Updated FILESYS.PPE to show results of Dupe Check,
Config order has changed must be completely reentered.
v0.53 02/18/95 ■- Added new option, 'Display progress to BBS user' if
enabled it will display to user what is being done so
they don't think the system is locked. Graphics match
the PCBPASS.TXT screen. (PCBUSER.ANS) BOOMCOM.EXE and
PCBUSER.ANS must be same path as config.
- Added support for PKZIP's Self-Extracting format.
- Added support for old .PAK format.
- Added support for LHarc's SFX (Self-Extracting) format.
- Embedded archives were not being CRC or Virus scanned!
- If ad is in Zapfiles list it will also now delete ad even
if in Embedded dir. Ex: ASS.AD Kills STUPID/ASS.AD
- If run from a root dir ex: C:\ it would error 75 - Fixed.
- Fixed some bugs with External Dupe Checkers. Make sure
BOOMDUPE.BAT is replaced with one in this version.
v0.52 02/12/95 ■- Added support for External Dupe Checkers ZDCS and ULP both
by Stacey Smith. They're fast and will check contents of
upload to detect if someone is trying to upload a renamed
file. Select system to use and path to it on Pg #1 of
BOOMLAB setup. If using ULP create a ULP config file
named BOOMULP.CFG and turn off all other options. See
options #9, 10 above for more. (Mr. Humble/Jerry S)
- Fixed major bug with deleting random ads by text keywords.
Also if any files in an archive contained ASCII char 255
it screwed up the whole process - Fixed.
- THUNDERBYTE v6.32 - 'AF' switch removed because it caused
the program to halt with a warning box. (great for BBS's)
- 'EXCLUDE' file dates list was optimized & much faster.
- If run from a root dir ex: C:\ it would error 75 - Fixed.
- Was cutting off DIZ macros in ZIP comments - Fixed.
- If text to replace 'Carrier Lost ...' is used, the string
∞ Description in FILE_ID.DIZ ∞ will also be replaced.
v0.51 02/05/95 - Added 5 more BOOMLAB options
∙ Maximum # of description lines.
∙ Strip PCBoard/Wildcat @ color codes from DIZ <Y/N>
∙ Extensions to bypass virus scanning.
∙ Compress GIF using GIFLITE <Y/N>
∙ Test\Process GIF using GIFTEST <Y/N>
- LOCAL MODE - Can now have wildcards for filename,
to allow Echo File Tossing etc... (Mr. Humble)
- BUGS: Deleting random BBS ads by text search didn't work,
found text had to be all CAPS!-Fixed (Highbinder\Bionic)
- If DIZ came from a console & normal BBS Ad text was added,
BOOMLAB didn't detect and convert to IBM format - Fixed.
- Fixed bug with Word-Wrap messing up 1st PCBoard line.
v0.50 01/26/95 - Re-did setup to add 8 new BOOMLAB features/settings.
See 'BOOMLAB SETUP OPTIONS' above for more details.
∙ Strip ALL Blank Lines <Y/N>? (Mr. Humble)
∙ Enable 'smart' text word-wrapping <Y/N>?
∙ Strip High-Bit ASC characters <Y/N>?
∙ Replace PCB's "Carrier Lost ... " text.
∙ Archive extensions to reject.
∙ List of filenames to blacklist.
∙ Test archive integrity <Y/N>? - now optional
∙ Strip -AV Protection for ZIPs <Y/N>? - now optional
- If DIZ/SDI had lines longer than 45 spaces it caused
blank lines or lines overlapping in PCBoard causing an
unsightly mess. Word-wrapping was added to handle this
but if not enabled, lines will now be hacked off.
- If LOG gets over 150k it will start a new LOG file.
Old LOG is renamed OLDLOG.# (# = Node #)
- Now will add archive comments to .ARJ files if enabled.
- BBS ADS - Wildcards are now accepted in the 'ZAPFILES'
list. Ex: *.NFO and DEATH*.* - USE CAUTION!!!
- Added a command line mode for PCB BOOMLAB. Can be used
from DOS or other programs like file tossers.
Ex: BOOMLAB D:\PFED LOCAL FILE.ZIP D:\PCB\GEN\PUBLIC
- When virus scanning <E>xe's, program might lock up when
extracting files if command line was too long - Fixed.
Also added .BIN and .SYS files as EXE's to be scanned.
- Repacker setup has changed, list all format extensions
to repack (Ex: .ARJ.LZH ) or for all use ALL.
- Added new macro: '|VA' = lists all virus scanners used &
ver #'s. '|VP' & '|VV' macros now only shows 1st scanner.
- Age Test '|TA' macro now shows 'OFF' if age check disabled.
- Sometimes a .ZIP would show version # as 78.7 or whatever.
Upper byte was supposed to be for Host System (OS) so now
BOOMLAB reports PKZIP v78.7 as PKZIP v1.9 under UNIX.
- Uploader name not added if file wasn't an archive - Fixed.
v0.48 01/16/95 - Add new processing mode: LOCAL = DOS command line mode for
PCB. It can be used from DOS or other progs. (Mr.Humble)
- When virus scanning using <E>xe's, program might lock up
when extracting files if command line was too long - Fixed.
Also added .BIN and .SYS files as exe's to be scanned.
- Added new macro: '|VA' = lists all virus scanners used and
ver #'s. '|VP' and '|VV' macros now only shows 1st scanner.
v0.47 01/14/95 - Added a log for BOOMLAB. Setup question #3. (Tosh10)
- Added manual entry of country's date format. (DRAGON MASTER)
Setup question #1. Automatic didn't work under OS/2 etc.
- Added support for PKARC's (.ARC) Need PKPAK/PKUNPAK to use.
- When deleting random BBS ads by text keywords: files w/o
extensions and files in subdirs weren't being scanned.
Files weren't being deleted after being read - Fixed.
- Screwed up scanning files from embedded .ZIPs in v.46
and not all embedded archives were checked - Fixed.
Embedded ARJ's with Ext's like .A01 are now checked.
- Checks if there's files to add before attempting. (Indigo)
v0.46 01/04/95 - ZAP FILES - there is now a third way to ZAP BBS Ads, you
can define a text file in the setup such as BBSADTXT
(included in this ZIP) with text to search for. BLAB
will extract all text files and search each for any
matching text! This should be lethal to those random
BBS adders, but does take a little longer to process.
As of now only ZIP's are supported. (Rifleman)
- Added support for AVSCAN v1.91 (c)H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH
A nice scanner from Germany available on CompuServe.
- If ZIP or imbedded ZIP was part of a backup set it would
fail (NO FILES), it now won't try to process the file but
adds warning to desc 'WARNING! - BACKUP ZIP NOT TESTED!'.
- PKZIP version would sometimes show 1.0 when it was created
using 2.0, the local header didnt have enough info, so
now it reads the end central dir record-technical crap ;)
- If virus scan detects only a possible virus, BLAB now
indicates it 'Might be' whatever named virus.
- Some errors weren't trapped and would hang up BLAB - Fixed.
v0.45 12/29/94 - BOOMLAB v.45 - Added macros |tc = results of archive test,
|ta = results of age test, |tv = results of virus scan.
|dw = DIZ text without any PCB color codes.
- MACROS: Added the ability to format ouput of all macros.
Add the number in brackets [n] after the macro code.
ex: |fn[13] Additionally with the |DZ (DIZ) macro you
can specify how many lines to display ex: |DZ[45,10] =
Display 10 lines of the DIZ desc formatted to 45 spaces.
- Designed a new PCBPASS.MSG taking advantage of new stuff.
- Some internal archives over 1 meg werent being processed.
- If no files to virus scan it won't scan, saving time.
- Fixed some 'bugs' dealing with getting virus name.
- Now detects a scheme people use to hide BBS Ads - Fixed.
- If ZIP or internal ZIP was part of a backup set PKUNZIP
prompts 'Insert last disk' causing BLAB to stall - Fixed.
v0.44 12/20/94 - Archive Integrity Testing (CRC) is now done internally by
BOOMLAB. Modify and use the updated PCBTEST.BAT included.
IMPORTANT » Make sure to unzip new CRCTEST.BAT & BOOMSCAN.BAT files!
- When internal archives are extracted for virus scanning
they are also now CRC test. (Third Son/Wildchild)
- Added Setup setting 'Add Blank line between descs' this
will add a blank line to end of all text for each file.
- If BBS Ad file was a volume label and over 8 bytes it
wasn't deleted. (Ex: MISSING_VOL) Also after first CRC
match found, BOOMLAB didn't look for any other matches.
- When using multiple virus scanners and last scanner passed
file but others failed it didn't fail file. (Phreak Creep)
- Added macros |AT (archive type), |AI (Archive info)
- Fixed a LOT of little bugs!
v0.43 12/15/94 - Added FILESYS.PPE (PCB only), a PPE that will handle
failed files. It can write E-Mail to the sysop, user,
delete file, and nuke any failed file. (SEE FILESY01.ZIP)
- Added '|NL' macro to add a new line of text. Should
only be used with the 'uploaded by' text string.
- Age tests sometimes didnt work with NON-USA date formats.
BOOMLAB couldnt find BOOMSYS.DAT (in CFG path) - Fixed.
v0.42 12/09/94 - Make sure new BOOMSCAN.BAT in unzipped to BOOMLAB dir!
- Added option to do Heuristic virus scans (F-Prot/ThunderByte)
- BOOMLAB now reads file header to see if file is a .ZIP,
.ARJ, or .LZH in case extension is otherwise.
- NON-ARCHIVES (EXE's/COM's) are now fully scanned.
- Move bad files to path or delete now works correctly.
v0.41 12/04/94 - Can now ZAP files by CRC-32 value. Use Archive viewer
from FED & PFED or add CRC:######## to ZAP List.
- Some .DIZ's, usually from LHA's, have NON-IBM linefeeds
and are read all as 1 line, now detected and converted.
- Fixed Macros showing 'NONE' if NFO/DIZ's in EXCLUDE file.
v0.40 11/27/94 - Age test archive 5 different ways. (NEW/OLD/DIZ/AVG/MOST)
v0.39 11/05/94 - Added a ARJ/LZH to ZIP repacker.
Added new macro |vv - version # of virus scanner used.
v0.38 10/28/94 - BUGS FIXED:
- Date Checks for .ARJ's & .LZH's didn't work at all.
