4092.0. "VirusX 4.01 & Fullview 2.01 ?" by MLRTYM::TERELLA (Mike Terella (DTN)287-3083 CTC2-1/C14) Fri Sep 07 1990 17:01

	According to an artile on PD software in this months Amiga World,
	version 4.01 of VirusX and version 2.01 of Fullview are available
	(on GEnie?).

	Is there anyone with BBS access that would be willing to upload
	these somewhere?

	I really like the functionality in Fullview though the earlier versions
	were a little buggy, and we all know about VirusX....

    VirusX 4.01 is already here, someplace, probably on TAPE.  I downloaded
    it from the net last week.

    I didn't find VirusX 4.01 on TAPE, so I just put a copy there:

    re 2> Fullview is sort of a multi-purpose text/image viewer.  Although I
    	  haven't seen the latest version, the previous one offered several
    	  features which I liked in a text viewer, including a built in 
    	  file compressor/decompressor, scroll speed settings, forward
    	  and backward scroll (mouse control for direction), search, print
    	  (both screen or file) and several other neat things.  It also 
    	  provided full screen display and all functions were keyboard 
    	  and/or pull down menu.  It was bone by Jonathan Potter I believe.
    	  I think the latest version added IFF viewing capability as well.
    
    	  Feature wise I prefer it to Less or More or Much More, but 
    	  the older version I have was a bit too bugy for exclusive use 
    	  (MemGuard frequently objected to the old version, but hopefully
     	  that's been fixed).  
    
    
    re 1 & 3>  Thanks for the upload, I found it on CRISTA.

    Careful ... VirusX 4.01 appears to be incompatible with
    Quarterback V4.0. When you insert your first floppy for backup, the
    Amiga crashes.
4092.6Hasn't happened to me.MSVAX::BARRETTI'm not one, but I play one on TVMon Sep 10 1990 15:184
    I've been using both since they can out and have never had a problem
    in either direction. If your description is true; perhaps it only
    happens when loading a disk that has a non-standard AmigaDos and/or
    Quarterback bootblock?
4092.7LODGE::LENDavid M. LenTue Sep 11 1990 03:422
    Are either of you running NoClick or CrossDos?  Both patch the
    trackdisk.device and could potentially cause compatability problems.
4092.8DICKNS::MACDONALDVAXELN - Realtime Software PubsTue Sep 11 1990 12:564
    Yes, I am using CrossDOS as well as SetCPU. But the problem only occurs
    with V4.01, not V4.0.
