README FIRST!
Command AntiVirus for NetWare(r)
Command Software is proud to introduce Command AntiVirus 
Version 4.61i with HoloCheck(tm) scanning technology. 
HoloCheck scanning technology detects tens of thousands of 
viruses and includes improved polymorphic virus detection.
NOTE:  After installing Command AntiVirus, we recommend that you 
perform a manual scan of the server from a workstation to ensure that 
your system is virus-free. This is especially important if you 
have not been running anti-virus software prior to this installation.
For a list of international distributors of Command AntiVirus (CSAV),
see the DISTRIB.TXT file.
The file called FILEINFO.TXT is a list of file descriptions and files
that have changed since the previous release.
Please read the Multi-Platform Quick Start Guide. It provides 
installation instructions and an overview of Command AntiVirus for 
all platforms. The Multi-Platform Quick Start Guide is included
on the Command AntiVirus CD, or you can download it from our 
web site at http://www.commandsoftware.com/service/tc-quickst.html.
The MQCKST.PDF file contains the Multi-Platform Quick Start Guide.
This file can be read with the Adobe(r) Acrobat(r) Reader that is
included on the Command AntiVirus CD. For instructions on how to

    - Lotus worksheets (.WKS) files
    - LX (OS/2) files as well as the detection of all OS/2 viruses.
- PowerPoint scanning is improved. The disinfection process is revised. 
  However, the disinfection of objects embedded in PowerPoint documents is 
  still not possible.
- CSAV features improved scanning in Windows 32-bit programs resulting
  in higher rates of detection and fewer false positives.
- Disinfection of infected .VBS files by deletion is now supported.
The following file types are now hard-coded into CSAV's virus scans 
and they are scanned by default:
   EXE, COM, SYS, VXD, DLL, DRV, SCR, 386, OV?, CPL, FON, TSK, ACM, 
   ACV, TLB, TSP, OCX, VBX, VOM, VXE, OBJ, SHS, SMM, HLP, CLA, XL?,
   DOC, DOT, MDB, RTF, MPP, MPT, PPA, PPS, PPT, POT, WBK, PWZ, MSO, 
   OBD, OBT, OBZ, OFT, MSG, EML, TD0, BAT, BTM, INI, INF, HT?, VBS,
   GMS, CSC, WPD, WK?, DVB, WBT, and CDR
A new virus definition file, SIGN2.DEF, is now included with Command 
AntiVirus. This file provides virus signatures for a variety of 
scripting viruses and trojans.
FIXES
None in this release.
SPECIAL NOTES
To run Command AntiVirus for NetWare, we now recommend that your server
have at least 16MB of RAM above and beyond what is required for running 
Novell NetWare. 
If you run into a server memory problem, use FPNAdmin to configure scans 
to not scan previously scanned files.   
The self-extracting file called SE_EICAR.EXE is no longer included with
the installation files. However, you can download this file from our web 
site at: 
   http://www.commandcom.com/html/utils.html
When you run this file, a test file, EICAR.COM (from European 
Institute for Computer Anti-Virus Research), is extracted from it.

Release Notes Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV) version 4.57
07/12/99
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
New virus signatures have been added in this release.
Command AntiVirus now includes expanded protection for the following:
   A. CorelDraw -- The newly discovered CorelDraw virus is now detected.
      The .CSC CorelDraw-related extension is now scanned by default.
   B. MacOffice -- Viruses in MacOffice documents can be detected and 
      disinfected. However, as the Macintosh(tm) operating system is 
      not directly supported by Command AntiVirus, detection is 
      possible only when the infected Macintosh Office documents 
      are scanned in a DOS or Windows-based environment. For example,
      if you have a floppy disk with infected MacOffice documents
      on it, you can disinfect these documents by using CSAV
      to scan the floppy disk.
   C. Microsoft Office 97 -- The .MPT, .WBK and .MSO extensions are now 
      scanned by default. 
   D. Office 2000 -- The heuristics scan engine has been modified so
      that it now detects some native Office 2000 viruses.
   E. PowerPoint 97 -- PowerPoint 97 viruses are now detected and 
      disinfected. The .PP?, .POT, and .PWZ PowerPoint 97 file types
      are now scanned by default.
An additional generic virus detector has been added. This detector 
allows Command AntiVirus to detect approximately 14,000 more 
"generic viruses." This brings the total number of viruses detected 
by Command AntiVirus to just over 39,500.
The CSAV scanners have been optimized to provide better protection
against "New Executable" file viruses and VxD viruses. Improvements
have also been made to reduce the occurrence of false positives.
If you open an infected Microsoft Office 97 document in Microsoft
Office 2000, our HoloCheck scan engine will detect the infection.
Documents converted to Office 2000 format from Office 97 format
can be disinfected. Currently, disinfecting an Office 2000 document
consists of removing all macros from the document.
Files that do not have a file name extension are now scanned by default.
FIXES
Saving files to a Novell Storage Services (NSS) volume on NetWare 5.0
servers would abend those servers. This has been fixed. 
SPECIAL NOTES
None for this release.

Release Notes for Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV)
Version 4.54 SP2 (Service Pack 2)
03/11/99
ENHANCEMENTS
New virus signatures have been added in this release.
The following default extensions have been added: .VXD and .386.
The following default extensions have been removed: .APP and PGM.
The default refresh interval for the server list is now 10 minutes
instead of 5 seconds. You may change this by editing the 
"RefreshInterval" keyword in the FPNADMIN.INI file. 
Enter the new value in seconds. Note that you may always see the
current statistics for any server by highlighting it.
FIXES
When scanning in disinfect mode, sometimes the message 
"Virus could not be removed" would appear in the output window. 
Since the file was not infected, the error message was incorrect. 
During installation, sometimes the message "Can't get server list - 1"
would appear. This has been fixed.
Release Notes for Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV)
Version 4.54 SP1 (Service Pack 1)
02/02/99
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
New virus signatures were added for this release.
SCR (screen saver) and RTF (Rich Text Format) files are now
scanned by default. SCR files are scanned because they
are susceptible to some Windows 95/98 viruses. RTF files are
scanned because infected DOC files that have had their extensions 
changed to "RTF" can still infect other Word documents and
templates.
CSAV now scans for ASCII-based viruses such as BAT viruses, 
JavaScript viruses and malicious applications, and VBScript viruses.
CSAV also detects mIRC scripts containing malicious code.
Better detection for Excel macro and field viruses has been added.
The scanning of MDB files is improved. 
Disinfection for polymorphic viruses such as W97M/Class that are 
found in the wild is new and improved. Selective disinfection allows
you to remove the macro virus and all traces of the disinfection
process. In password-protected documents, CSAV removes the virus but 
leaves traces of the disinfection process behind. In both instances,
the original document is preserved. 
FIXES
None for this release.
SPECIAL NOTES
To update Command AntiVirus with this service pack, you must run
the service pack's SETUP.EXE program. Note that only the 
components that require updating will be modified.
If you plan to update to CSS Central version 1.04, update all
client stations to Command AntiVirus version 4.54 prior to performing 
the CSS Central update. This allows you to avoid complications 
that can arise due to changes that were made to the communication 
port settings in CSS Central version 1.04. 
Release Notes for Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV)
version 4.54
12/04/98
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
New virus signatures have been added for this release.
The scan engine has been optimized for faster scanning.
This includes faster scanning of a wider variety of compound
files such as Microsoft Word and Excel files.
Command AntiVirus for NetWare now detects Java viruses and
Access 97 viruses. Disinfection ability will be added in
an upcoming release.
In the DOMAIN section of the FPNADMIN.INI file, there is a new
key named "RefreshInterval". This key allows users to change the
main screen's server refresh interval. The default interval is 
5 seconds. If your server list does not refresh completely because 
the interval is too small, you can increase the number of seconds 
to assure more time between intervals. 
Additional support for compressed executable files has been added. 
Specifically, compressed executables are scanned in memory. This 
allows for faster scans of compressed files. 
FIXES
Difficulties with using wildcards in the files exclusion path
have been addressed. The specific problem involved using
more than one wildcard symbol (*) to exclude an entire class
or set of files, for example, "sys:abc\*.*". Using the
wildcard symbols occasionally resulted in an "unallocated
resources" error. This is fixed.
AlertTrack did not allow logging on to a NetWare Directory Service
(NDS) server from the management console unless the /BINDERY switch
was loaded. This is fixed.
SPECIAL NOTES
Microsoft Access (MDB) database files are now scanned by default. 
If you determine that real-time scans are noticeably slower, remove 
the .MDB extension from the Files To Include list. Then, create a 
scheduled scan task that periodically scans all the files in your 
Microsoft Access folders.

Release Notes for Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV) version 4.52a
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
New virus signatures have been added in this release.
FIXES
On rare occasions, an error message appeared stating that
AlertTrack could not locate the SYS volume object on NDS servers.
To circumvent the problem, we now also look for the name of the volume
object, "servername_SYS" (where "servername" contains the actual
name of the server) and use that name it if exists.
A problem involving the "Exclude=" statement in F-PROT.INI not
accepting certain server names has been corrected.
SPECIAL NOTES
Command AntiVirus for NetWare 4.52 has been officially certified
by Novell for use on Novell NetWare 5.0.
Users of Command AntiVirus for NetWare may experience occasional
"Out of Cache" memory events when CSAV for NetWare is used under
CLIB N which is included in NWSP5b. We have noticed that CLIB N
releases memory differently than the earlier versions of CLIB.
During your computing session, CLIB N eventually will release the
memory in question. However, it is not possible to determine exactly
when that memory will be released. We are working with the Novell
Corporation to arrive at a solution for this situation. Until the
CLIB N situation is resolved, users may want to circumvent the
problem by using an earlier version of CLIB.
Enhancements to CSAV for NetWare's VSENGINE requires that you
install the latest patches for Novell NetWare. The required
patches are:
     For NetWare 3.11 servers: 311PTG.EXE and LIB311b.EXE
     For NetWare 3.12 servers: 312PTD.EXE and LIB312a.EXE
     For NetWare 4.1x servers: LIBUPG.EXE and IWSP5.EXE
If you have applied LIBUPH.EXE or IWSP5b.EXE, then the following
settings must me made in your STARTUP.NCF or AUTOEXEC.NCF files:
	Set number of frees for garbage collection = 100
For further information regarding these patches, we suggest that you
visit Novell's web site located at:
     http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm
The ENGLISH.TX0 file has been removed from the DEPLOYNW.FPN file as
".TX0" files are no longer needed in CSAV for NetWare.  If you
have ENGLISH.TX0 listed in the [DEPLOY] section of your FPNADMIN.INI
file you may want to remove it.

Release Notes Command AntiVirus for NetWare (CSAV) version 4.51
 	F-PROT.NLM  v4.51
        VSEngine.NLM v4.51 with F-PROT scan engine 3.00
        FPNAdmin.EXE v4.51
        F-Delay.NLM v4.51
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
Command AntiVirus boasts our HoloCheck (tm) scanning technology,
providing the most up-to-date virus prevention. The most important
benefits of this technology are:
  *  Simplified updates. You can now update the SIGN.DEF and
     Macro.def files (which contain the most current virus signatures)
     without reinstalling all of the components. This method adds
     speed and efficiency to the new version of Command AntiVirus.
  *  Superior polymorphic virus detection. CSAV now offers
     unparalleled protection and elimination of polymorphic viruses
     including the dreaded Morphine, Anxiety and Spanska.
  *  Scanning of embedded (OLE) documents. Not only do we scan
     documents, but if an infected document is embedded in an Excel
     spreadsheet or PowerPoint document, Command AntiVirus will catch
     it and save you from becoming infected.
New virus signatures have been added in this release.
F-MACRO.NLM has been removed. F-MACRO is now part of every scanner
and is therefore not needed as a separate utility.
REQUIREMENTS
The following updates/patches are required:
NetWare 3.11  -  lib311a + 311ptg
NetWare 3.12  -  lib312a + 312ptd
NetWare 4.0x  -  libupg
NetWare 4.10  -  libupg + 410pt8a
NetWare 4.11  -  iwsp5b
SPECIAL NOTES
We have removed the -OLE command-line switch.
**AlertTrack**
We are aware of the intermittent problems with the failure of
NWIPXSPX.DLL to initialize when you are using Windows NT. We are
working on the problem.
For ALERTTRK.NLM to recognize NDS servers, the machine running the
administration program must use IntraNetWare Client32 or MS Client
with the MSNDS patch. Without this configuration, NDS machines will
not be correctly seen or handled.
**AlertTrack**
NDS servers:
============
For ALERTTRK.EXE to recognize NDS servers, the workstation running
the administration program must use the appropriate NetWare network
files. IntraNetWare Client32 for Windows 95/98/NT or MS Client
for NetWare Networks for 95/98 with the MSNDS patch must be running
or NDS machines will not be correctly seen or handled.  To successfully
launch AlertTrack Administration in NDS mode, users must log into an
NDS tree.
AlertTrack requires the use of fully qualified user names for the
broadcast recipient list. User names must be entered as they appear on
the connection list window in the Monitor program.
 NDS Example: username.context
Bindery Emulation on NetWare 4.x and 5.x servers:
=================================================
A user wishing to run AlertTrack Administration on a server
using bindery emulation must perform two additional steps.  On the
server run AlertTrack using the command LOAD alerttrk.nlm /bindery.
On the main login screen of the administration utility, check the
"Force Bindery Login" checkbox.

********************
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
New virus signatures have been added in this release.
An error message is now generated when trying to deploy
CSAV from a server when a scan is running.
FIXES
A minor problem involving filenames with accented characters
being duplicated as zero-byte files after a scan has
been corrected.
When running SETUP.EXE, if users did not install any
components a screen would appear indicating that the
installation was successful. This inconsistency has
been fixed.
When a user at the console changes scans while one or more
CSAV Administration users is also trying to change a scan, an error
message would appear stating that "The selected scan no
longer exists or is currently running." CSAV has been modified
to reread the scheduled scans list whenever that menu
item is selected. This modification should significantly
reduce the number of times that the error message
is generated.
A minor problem involving the misalignment of text when
entering a the name of a message recipient that consisted of
more than 11 characters has been fixed.
Real-time statistics now clear properly for servers with
very long server names when "Clear All Settings" is chosen
in CSAV Administration.
The default deploy files list in FPNADMIN.INI will now be regenerated
if that file is deleted.  Before it would only be regenerated if the
[Deploy] section was not present.
SPECIAL NOTES
On rare occasions, unloading CSAV at a NetWare 3.x server may
result in a "Module did not release 28 resources" message.
If you encounter this message, please contact our Technical
Support Department.
In the Notification dialog box, the option to send a report to
the System Log file is no longer available.

********************
PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
We added a console interface called FPNCON to make it easier to
perform tasks directly at the server console. To use the new
text user interface type: LOAD FPNCON at the server console. Note
that FPNCON will not work on NetWare 3.11 as it requires NWSNUT
version 4.11 or higher.
SETUP.NLM reverts to plain text mode if your system is using an
NWSNUT that is earlier than version 4.11.
We replaced the DEPLOY DOS/WINDOWS menu option with a DEPLOY
SELECTED FILES option. This new option allows any file (not just
F-PROT files) to be copied to FPN servers. The function is similar
to the NCOPY command with the added advantages of allowing you to
update multiple servers at one time and to reload F-PROT after
the update. (NOTE: You will still need to reload AlertTrack if
it is updated.)  When this option is accessed, the default
selection of F-PROT files are displayed in a new dialog box. You
can add or remove files to this list.  In this release, you cannot
change the settings of the checkboxes at the bottom of the dialog
box. The contents of that dialog box are written to the [Deploy]
section in FPNADMIN.INI upon program termination and are read back
whenever FPNAdmin is started again.
If a password cannot be changed on a server domain, a message box
appears identifying the server.
The scan engine version number can now be seen on the main screen
under the column header SCN.
INSTALLATION: The AlertTrack and FPN installation is now combined.
The client files of AlertTrack and FPN install into the "F-PROT
Professional" program folder. If a "Network Security Solutions"
program folder exists then it is optionally removed.
Also, the FPN Administration icons have different names then previous
installations; if the old icons exist in the default program group
they too are deleted. The AlertTrack help icon is now in the program
folder.
The ???WIN16.DLL (for example, CALWIN16.DLL, CLNWIN16.DLL, etc.) files
are now always copied in the Windows' SYSTEM directory, if they do not
already exist. If these files exist in the default F-PROT directory
they are deleted.  Also, the ???WIN16.DLL files used to be updated as
a group; unless all of them were newer none of them were copied during
the installation. This is no longer the case and each file of the
group can be used to replace its namesake in the Windows' SYSTEM
directory.
The Help files contain a new feature that provides Internet access
directly from the opening help screen. There are two icons available
for this purpose. One takes you to our home page and the other takes
you to the page for obtaining an update. You must have Internet
capability and a browser to use this feature.
FIXES
An abend caused by volume names greater 14 characters has been fixed.
An abend sometimes seen on high utilization, large volume (~25 gigs)
systems has been fixed.
An abend caused by extremely long include/exclude lists has been fixed.
SPECIAL NOTES
The Internet feature in the Help files requires the presence of the
following files: INTETWH16.DLL, INETWH32.32 and SETBROWS.EXE. These
files need to be in the same directory as the help file.
The AlertTrack files have been added the DEPLOYNW.FPN file and to the
[Deploy] section in FPNADMIN.INI. If you do not have AlertTrack
installed on your system, you may want to either remove or
"comment out" the AlertTrack-related lines in these files.  To comment
out those lines, place a semi-colon in front of them.
The F-PROT Professional for NetWare SETUP.NLM has been moved back to
disk 2.

Release Notes FPN 2.27B
 PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
Novell has replaced the NWCALLS.DLL with several new DLLs. For this
reason, we are no longer installing NWCALLS with FPN.  We now install
the following new DLLs: CALWIN16.DLL, CLNWIN16.DLL, CLXWIN16.DLL,
LOCWIN16.DLL and NCPWIN16.DLL. The new DLLs offer better support
for Client 32, a simplified server connection management scheme, and
will permit more flexibility when using NDS as FPN becomes
more NDS-aware. We have tested the new DLLs using NetWare Client 32
for DOS/Windows 3.1 and the NetWare DOS requester (VLMs). Clients
running NETX.EXE have not been fully tested. As NETX.EXE is no longer
updated by Novell, we recommend using either NetWare Client 32 or the
NetWare DOS requester.

Release Notes FPN 2.27
There is a new option, "Remove all macros if variant is found", now
available in the "Settings" tab for Manual scan, Scheduled scan,
Real-time scan, and Global default scans. If this option is selected,
all macros are removed from any file containing a new or modified
variant of a macro virus. This new option is only available when the
Action to take is "Disinfect". If this option is not selected, and the
Action to take is "Disinfect", files that contain remnants or are
variants of macro infections are renamed.
There is a new error message in FPN: "No available connections from
primary server".
 Cause: NetWare (especially version 3.x) only permits the use of a
   Specified number of user connections to a server based on the
   license.  When FPN Administration updates the FPN information on its main
   screen it asks the primary server to ask the other servers in the
   domain for information about themselves. This requires the use of a
   licensed connection. If there are no more connections are available
   you will see the message.
 Effect:
   No FPN information is available from some servers; prior to adding
   this new message the user saw a message saying that FPN was
   "unloaded" from that server. Now you will see the new message.
 Solution:
   First try making another server the primary server. It might be
   that there are enough connections available at the new one. Or,
   wait until someone logs off the servers and frees up a connection.
====================================================
Compatibility update: FPN is compatible with the current shipping
versions of the following products. We recommend using only these
current versions.
1. Backup Agent for Open Files  v3.0
2. Open File Manager            v3.0
3. ARCserve                     v6.0
4. Backup Exec                  v7.11a
5. Replica                      v2.1
Additional notes and comments:
When a scan is run, it will scan all servers in the "Selected Servers"
list box - not just the one you have highlighted.  Remove them from the list
if they are not to be scanned.
When first using F-PROT Professional for NetWare, it is
suggested the first scan include compressed & migrated files,
and the action be Report.  This is strictly a precautionary
strategy.
