============================================================================

VirusZ is the last one of the classic antivirus programs for Amiga computers
that still gets updated (from time to time;-).

This  is  the first version that works on classic AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS and
AmigaOS 4.x, but due to some limitations it's still a beta-release.

This archive no longer contains any of the required libraries, so please get
them from Aminet (locations are mentioned in the header of this textfile).

To  ensure  that you have downloaded an original version of VirusZ and not a
fake, you can use my PGP key (attached to the VirusZ.doc file) together with
the  signatures  included  in  the  archive  for verification.  You can also
download a 100% safe copy of my PGP key from the homepage of Virus Help Team
Denmark (www.vht-dk.dk).

Additionally,  you should compare the file size of your VirusZ copy with the
one  displayed  in the programs 'About' information.  They MUST match if you
didn't modify VirusZ yourself (eg.  with a file compressor).

For  any  comments, bug reports, snapshots and/or if you have found some new
virus, contact the author at the following e-mail address:

 1.04bChanges/Additions since 1.03b:
 
	- Not a new author, just  a new name:  After marriage some years ago, my
	  family name is no longer Hoemann, but Wittmann.
	- Added  full  recognition  of  AmigaOS  3.1.4,  3.2,  4.0  and 4.1  and
	  recognition of AROS to startup code and fixed self-test.
	- Fixed several problems in (background) vector check:
	  a. Handles the two 512 kB ROMs correctly when running on AROS.
	  b. Handles the Kickstart modules area of AmigaOS 4.x correctly.
	  c. Uses  FindTrackedAddress()  instead of  SegTracker w hen running on
	     AmigaOS 4.x for display and snapshots.
	  d. No  more accesses to  zeropage of m68k processors on AmigaOS 4.x as
	     there seems to be no way to do so without Grim Reaper.
	  e. Added support  for special  m68k library functions emulator code of
	     AROS and AmigaOS 4.x.
	- Fixed  problem  in memory  monitor: As  there exist  restricted memory
	  areas under AmigaOS 4.x,  you can only have a look at regions that are
	  either   registered   in   FindTrackedAddress()   or   located  inside
	  Kickstart modules.
	- Some  preferences of vector check and memory monitor are disabled when
	  running on AmigaOS 4.x as they don't make sense then.
	- Fixed bug in  device scanner that lead to wrong results with not disk-
	  based devices when running on AmigaOS 4.x.
	- Added  recognition  of  new AROS  and AmigaOS  system  patches  to the
	  vector  check  ( at  least  for my  configurations,  feel free to send
	  snapshots of your non-standard vectors).
	- Updated some stuff inside the internal GUI support code:
	  a. Calculation of window border sizes happens in a way compatible with
	     old OS versions and AROS / AmigaOS 4.x now.
	  b. Fixed  size  calculation  of  listview  gadgets  for  both AROS and
	     AmigaOS 4.x as they differ a view pixels to older OS versions.
	- Removed  SegTracker  45.1  archive  from  distribution, get the latest
	  release (currently 46.1 written by Thomas Richter) from Aminet instead
