The following features have been added since the DOCs were written:
TranScan 2.24 01/12/92
* As some of you may have already noticed v2.23 did not update the WC database
at all. This has been repaired in v2.24.
* I reorganized most of the code so that it looks less like the Organization
structure of the Pentagon. Consequently, it should run faster. It should
also take up less space.
* I added a lot more messages to be displayed at the "Message Line". This
should help you determine what it is doing and why a little better.
* Demand for TranScan is at an all time high right now. Let me know if you
detect any nasties so that I can fix 'em!
Thanks!

TranScan 2.23 01/09/92
* TranScan should NOT lock-up when carrier is dropped any more.
* If a lock-up should occur pressing [esc] should get out of it.
* When processing a directory you can now abort between files by pressing
[esc]. TranScan WILL finish processing the file it is working on right
now so don't beat on the [esc] key too hard.
* -D switch has been completely eliminated. To process files in a directory
use DOS commands just like you would using DOS's COPY command. For
example: To process the \UPLOAD directory you can now type
TRANSCAN c:\upload\*.* -carj
To process the GIF files only in the upload directory just type
TRANSCAN c:\upload\*.gif -G
You can even use the ? to process certain files like
TRANSCAN C:\upload\telix-?.zip -carj
TranScan 2.22
* TranScan toggles the Wildcat "Scan Failed" switch OFF as well as ON. If
you CLEANUP a file that originally had a virus just TranScan it again and
the switch will be changed from "Scan Failed=Y" to "Scan Failed=N".
* Invoke the -E switch to "Compress Everything". That's right, if the file
is not an ARC, ARJ, GIF, HYP, ICE, LZH, PAK, SDN, ZIP, or ZOO file it will be
compressed using your default compression program.
For example let's use the following command line:
TRANSCAN -CARJ -E -G
Files Before TranScanning Files After TranScanning
------------------------- ------------------------
Good.TXT Good.ARJ
Zipped.ZIP Zipped.ARJ
Program.EXE Program.ARJ
Picture.GIF Picture.GIF (but GIFLITEd)
I know of a few Wildcat BBSs that could sure benefit from having all those
Text Files compressed! Is your's one of them?
Let me know what you think of TranScan!
Call THE COMPUTER POST BBS 507-345-3075!
