WHAT IS SPOTIT?

Spotit is yet another integrity checking tool. It compares files with a
saved 32 bit CRC to see if they have been altered.


IS SPOTIT AN ANTI-VIRUS SOLUTION?

No, under normal conditions it can tell you if a file has been changed.
If you suspect a virus is memory resident on your system system,
DO NOT RUN THIS PROGRAM! 


SO, WHAT GOOD IS IT?

1. If used properly it can help you determine if your system is infected
   with a virus.

2. It can tell you if an existing system file was touched by an install of
   software.

3. It can be used to verify clean distribution of software.


FEATURES

1. Password encrypted data file
2. Can use a control file to scan specific files/directories
3. Records a file with the most recent changes (Results.chk)
4. If a drive is scanned, spotit will check EXE,SYS,COM,OVL, and DLL
   files. If a control file is used it will check any file specified
   regardless of type.

EXAMPLES

To do an initial scan of C:
        spotit c: /i mypassword mydatafile

To check C: for changes
        spotit c: /c mypassword mydatafile

A control file example:
(control.ini)
c:\command.com
c:\msdos.sys
c:\io.sys
c:\windows
end

        To do an initial scan
        spotit c: /i mypassword mydatafile control.ini

        To check for changes
        spotit c: /c mypassword mydatafile control.ini
