PC-SIG is the world's oldest and largest distributor of shareware.
Since 1982 PC-SIG has been compiling the most respected shareware
collection anywhere by actively seeking top software authors and
their high quality programs.
Shareware is a unique approach to software retailing in which
consumers purchase software directly from the author. Individual
authors avoid costly marketing, promotion, and packaging by
allowing their programs to be copied and shared with few
restrictions. PC-SIG plays a vital role in the shareware process by
bringing shareware to the consumer. As a central distributor,
PC-SIG can give these programs the exposure they deserve at a
fraction of the cost of bringing a single software package to
market. In the end, the consumer wins with great software at
prices far below traditional retail markets.
The end user also wins with the opportunity to try the full program
before buying it from the author. This ``try-before-you-buy''
method of software distribution is successful because shareware is
high-quality software. Authors are confident that once you have
used their programs you'll be impressed and want to register.

Dear Sirs/Madames,
This disk contains the share-ware releases of Virus Central
CGA/EGA v2.00. Virus Central Lite v2.00, the beta version of
which I sent you earlier, will not be released publicly as of
this time as I have encountered bugs in the program that have
been difficult to locate. I will send you a complete copy of
Virus Central Lite as soon as it is available.
The Virus Central CGA and EGA programs are on two ZIP files.
They are:
VC200CGA.ZIP - Virus Central CGA v2.00
VC200EGA.ZIP - Virus Central EGA v2.00
The EGA version requires an EGA/VGA system while the CGA version
will work with CGA/EGA/VGA equipped systems. Both programs
will need a minimum of 512k RAM and work best when installed on
a hard disk. Please be aware that the programs use identical
file names (the executable CGA and EGA programs are both file
named CENTRAL.EXE), so they could easily overwrite each other if
"unzipped" in the same directory. Please refer to the
documentation for more information.
Since sending you the beta copies, a new feature has been added
to the programs; Configuartion Options Locking. If you have been
testing the betas, you will have to use the Update utility to
correct your configuration file. Again, please refer to the
accompanying documentation for more information.
If you have any further questions about the programs, the
documentation, or the accompanying support files, please feel
free to contact me at this address/telephone number:

VIRUS LIST UPDATE UTILITY
Version 2.00
Copyright (C) 1990, 1991
by Alejandro L. Abello
The Virus List Update Utility (UPDATE.EXE) is a program for
quickly updating the list of viruses in the Virus Central
configuration file. The program reads the list in the
VIRLIST.TXT file, which comes with the ViruScan and CleanUp
programs, and reconstructs the list in CENTRAL.CFG, without
changing any of the configuration options. This way, you can
easily keep the virus list up to date, more accurately and with
minimal effort. You can, of course, still manually enter the
virus list using the features available from Virus Central, but
the Update utility simplifies the whole process.
NOTE:
Version 2.00 of the Update Utility can correctly update the
configuration file of Virus Central 1.40, but will not work with
the configuration files of earlier releases of the program. If
you are using a copy of Virus Central earlier than v1.40, refer
to the Virus Central User's Manual for information on manually
correcting the configuration file
USING THE PROGRAM
Update works best when installed on the same directory as
CENTRAL.CFG. Also, it is a good idea to have a copy of the
VIRLIST.TXT file in that directory, too.
Once installed, enter "UPDATE" to execute the program.
You will be presented with the Main Menu, showing 3 options, on
the left side of the screen. To select an option from the menu,
use the up and down arrow keys to position the cursor over the
desired option, and press [Enter] to select it.
On the right side of the screen are the settings used by the
program. Check these settings carefully before you begin the
updating of CENTRAL.CFG, and change them, if necessary.
The "Begin Update" Option
When selected, "Begin Update" reconstructs the virus list in the
CENTRAL.CFG file. This is actually a four step process, and
messages describing the progress of the program at each step
will be printed to the screen. Assuming all goes well, you
should see the following messages:
Reading In Virus Central configuration file . . . DONE
Reading In Virus List . . . DONE
Sorting Virus List . . . DONE
Writing New Virus List . . . DONE
Virus List Successfully updated!
If something goes wrong during the process, you will be given an
error message. In most cases, the error will be caused by a
problem in the program settings.
Note that Update will not change the first 30 viruses, since
Virus Central defines them as sacred. Also, it does not add new
viruses to the list; it reconstructs it from scratch.
The "Change Settings" Option
This option lets you modify the settings used by the program.
Use the up or down arrow keys to select the setting you wish to
modify. Press the [Esc] key to return to the Main Menu.
The first setting is the file path to the configuration file.
Normally, Update will look in the current directory or search
the DOS path for the file CENTRAL.CFG. If it is unable to find
it, the path will default to the root directory ("\"). If this
is incorrect, possibly because the configuration file is in a
directory not specified in the DOS search path, change this
setting.
The second setting is the name of the configuration file. This
normally defaults to "CENTRAL.CFG." If you have changed the file
name of the configuration file, change this setting to reflect
the new file name.
The third setting is the file path to the virus list file.
Normally, Update will look in the current directory or search
the DOS path for the file VIRLIST.TXT. If it is unable to find
it, the path will default to the root directory ("\"). If this
is incorrect, possibly because the virus list file is in a
directory not specified in the DOS search path, change this
setting.
The fourth setting is the name of the virus list file. This
normally defaults to "VIRLIST.TXT." If you have changed the file
name of the virus list file, change this setting to reflect
the new file name.
The fifth field specifies whether or not you want Update to
include all viruses in the list. Normally, Update will only
include viruses which are marked as removable by Clean-Up.
Setting this to "YES" will cause Update to include all the
viruses on the list, even those that need M-DISK, SCAN/D,
M-3066, or some other disinfector.
The last field specifies whether or not you want to include
"extinct" viruses in the list. Normally, Update will skip over
viruses marked as extinct (in the virus list file, those that
begin with a "*"). Setting this to "YES" will add them to the
list.
The "Return to DOS" Option.
Select this option to terminate the program and return to DOS.
