samcsli

Version 4.0a (12/3/1997)

    * Multicasting has been added.
    * Protected mode version, GHOST now uses much less conventional memory.
    * Dump files are CRC checked to detect any corruption.
    * -F12 switch allows resizing of Fat 12 partitions when the -CLONE switch is used.
    * -BATCH switch prevents Abort messages waiting for user acknowledgement.
    * -CRCIGNORE switch allows restoring of dump files that contain some corrupted files.
    * -AUTONAME switch autonames spanned dump files.
    * GHOST command line arguments can be read from a file, using the syntax GHOST @argument.fil.
    * Added SCSI tape support.
    * Added a dump file dialog box. The switch -NOFILE turns it off.
    * Disk-to-Disk and Dump-to-Disk now run under Windows-95, but at a speed penalty.
    * The 'Progress' screen can be displayed in different languages.
    * Fixes for the following aborts: 10220, 12078, 15004, 19010, 25002, 25003, 25009.
    * When a GHOST operation spans midnight, the elapsed time no longer shows a negative value.
    * Compressed files and volumes on NTFS are now handled correctly.
    * Dual Boot NT and Windows95 PC's were occasionally not cloned correctly.
    * GHOST was reporting one fewer cylinders than fdisk in some circumstances.
    * New compression techniques have been implemented. You now have choices between no compression, fast compression, or high compression of a dump file. Dump files using the previous compression method are still supported. The fast compression is much faster than the previous method, but the compression is not quite as good. The high compression is slightly faster than the old method but compresses more. From the command line -Z or -Z1 selects fast compression, -Z2 selects high compression, -Z3 to -Z9 select even higher compression but for most people the speed penalty makes this an unattractive option.

Version 4.0b (2/8/1998)

    * The -crc32 switch allows making a list of the files on a disk or partition or in a dumpfile with CRC values for each, and to verify that list against the original or a clone.
    * The indexes created for use by Unveil are more robust. When Ghost 4.0a was run on an active file system (files being created while Ghost was running) the index was not complete. Incomplete indexes are not significant to Ghost itself, but they slow down Unveil.
    * Fragmented packets sometimes caused GPFs while multicasting. This has been fixed. Buffer space has also been increased to improve performance over networks where fragmented packets are common.
    * The GATEWAY entry in WATTCP.CFG was ignored, causing the error "Network is unreachable." This has been fixed. BOOTP and DHCP servers which send shorter than normal packets are no longer ignored.
    * Several multicast improvements promised on the Ghost Forum for the next release will be in Ghost version 4.1.

samcsli

Version 4.0c (2/10/1998)

    * The abort messages 15010 and 15050 associated with "EA DATA. SF" files have been fixed. This problem affected Ghost 4.0a and 4.0b when loading dump files made by either version from an OS/2 FAT partition.
    * The diagnostic message "Unknown FAT32 code" has been fixed.

samcsli

Version 4.0d (2/18/1998)

    * Addresses a problem where multicasting caused "Connection reset by server". Fixes a problem which caused a multicasting session to hang.

samcsli

Version 4.1a (3/11/1998)

    * Supports password-protection and encryption of image files use the command line argument -PWD.
    * New options for tape devices, including -tapespeed, -tapeunbuffered, -tapebuffered and -tapesafe.
    * HP fix, tape support now works with all known scsi tapes.
    * Media recognition, tape logic now detects and responds to invalid media (such as a cleaning tape).
    * The multicast server now has the ability to start transmission when either a certain number of clients are connected, or at a specified time.
    * The Windows multicast server can now be controlled via command-line options.
    * Multiple copies if the Windows multicast server can be run simultaneously on a single computer.
    * The multicast server now indicates the status of each connected client.
    * When running on a machine with multiple network interfaces, the Windows multicast server will now determine automatically which interface(s) to use.
    * In Ghost 4.0, Ghost would search for multicast servers over a maximum of 10 hops. This is now configurable via the -JS=n command line argument, where n is the maximum number of hops.
    * FatLimit prevents GHOST from resizing FAT partitions beyond 2Gb under any circumstances (including the NT bit being set).
    * Fixed potential infinite loop when an unknown error occurred during writing.
    * Fixed problem with spanned dumpfiles being given the same name for all segments after the first. (This is a problem if writing a spanned file to a single disk. e.g. for later copying to a CDROM).

    * Fixed -F64 switch which was not always operating correctly.
    * Fixed "Bad source blocks..." error while Multicasting.
    * Multiple binds no longer cause Processor Exception 14 errors.
    * ADDITIONAL NOTES:
    * If you experience a 19503 error you will need to run GHOST.EXE -WD- -WS- to overcome it. This error has been identified and is being addressed in the upcoming v5.0e release.
    * Binding GHOST to environment files under NT currently causes problems. To avoid this, copy GHOST and the enviroment file to a DOS boot diskette and bind after having booted your system with the diskette.

samcsli

Version 5.0e (7/8/1998)

    * Fixed abort with Broken Fat Cluster Run.
    * Bad sector verify now works disk to disk.
    * Fixed Abort 19503 and more likely to detect large disks correctly and to evaluate the number of cylinders more accurately.
    * Fixed incorrect partition resizing occasionally resulted in an Error 1234 "not enough space on destination drive".
    * Now detects more than one tape drive.
    * Improved handling of more than 10 partitions.
    * -FX now works under Windows.
    * Arrows and hot keys now supported by the option menu.
    * Binding under NT now works.
    * Fixed "Source image file on target partition" error.
    * New abort code 10155 when image requires a later version of GHOST to restore.
    * Now able to reload an image all partition (IA) back to the original partition without using the -OR switch.
    * GHOST checks to ensure that even when -OR is used, partition boundaries are not overwritten.
    * GHOST will now abort when restoring an NTFS partition with the no write flag (-FNW) or with WRITE=n in environment file. Previously, this caused a '(27049) NTFS Error: Cannot read FILE_BITMAP MFT entry' error. The new error code is 20107.
    * Fixed bug with -FCR switch not reporting long file names.
    * -SKIP=filename to skip a file on a dump. Eg -SKIP=BIGFILE.TMP will skip BIGFILE.TMP when creating an image. Wildcards and multiple -SKIPs are not yet supported.
    * -BFC=x bad sector verify switch now specifies the maximum number of bad sectors before abort. The default value, when used, is 500.
    * CDROM drives now detected as CD and not network drives.
    * -DL=x switch specifies the the highest slot for fixed disk detection (where x is between 128 and 255). Previously, slots 128 through 255 were searched. Now GHOST only searches slots between 128 and 146. This change is due to a problem where some Phoenix BIOS based systems were hanging when querying slots 147 and above. This switch will therefore have two uses - firstly if hard drives on your system are not being detected try -DL=255 (i.e. query all slots); secondly if GHOST hangs while detecting hard drives (immediately after starting GHOST) try -DL with a value less than 146. A value of {128+your number of fixed disks} should work in this scenario.
    * -FFG switch to override the detection of attempts to write beyond a disk's capacity. Useful when geometry detection has detected a drive to be smaller than it actually is.
    * -FFD switch to disable the use of the the BIOS IDE FDPT (Fixed Disk Parameter Table) during disk geometry detection and calculation. Some machines’ BIOS contain the ability to select which of the available IDE drives will be used to boot the system. When this BIOS feature is used, it may interfere with GHOST’s geometry detection. Use this switch to work around incorrect disk geometry encountered in GHOST when the system has been booted from a second or subsequent IDE drive.
    * -FFF switch to force the use of the BIOS IDE FDPT (Fixed Disk Parameter Table) during geometry detection and calculation. When machines have both SCSI and IDE drives installed, the GHOST geometry detection may be unable to differentiate between the SCSI and IDE drives installed. This switch can be used when problems are experienced when both IDE and SCSI drives are installed on the machine, and should only be used when booting from an IDE drive.
    * -DWB switch to disable image file write buffering. Useful when experiencing difficulties, including slow speed, writing to an image file on a mapped network drive.
    * -DRB switch to disable image file read buffering. Useful when experiencing difficulties, including slow speed, reading from an image file on a mapped network drive.
    * Multicast TCP/IP improvements including:
    * Improved DHCP support
    * Fixed Fragmented Packets support
    * Improved Fragmented IP Packet reassembly performance
    * Token Ring Bridge support
    * Token Ring Router support (Router must support Multicast Packets)
    * Windows 95 users:
    * Please note an updated version of WINSOCK 2 is now available and can be downloaded from:
    * http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/bin/W95ws2setup.exe

Version 5.1b (9/14/1998)

    * Fixes to address Processor Exception 14 errors.
    * -TAPEEJECT switch. GHOST no longer ejects the tape after a tape operation, and now rewinds the tape before quitting back to DOS. To force an eject run GHOST with the -TAPEEJECT switch.
    * NTFS arguments can now be included in the argument file (e.g. @arg.txt).
    * Fix for tape 'Bad Magic' error message. Occurred only on tape drives which do not have an auto-eject function. This bug was caused by tape drives not resetting properly, resulting in the 'Bad Magic' message to be reported even when the tape image was valid. As a result of this fix, 'Bad Magic' should now only be reported when a tape image is genuinely corrupt.
    * GHOST is now compatible with Norton AntiVirus; all previous versions caused NAV to report an error on boot-up. This no longer occurs.
    * -FATLIMIT switch now limits the size of NT FAT16 partitions to 2047 Mb.
    * Fix for password encrypted image files where they failed comparisons to a CRC file with an Abort 15170 Bad Source Parameter Block.
    * Fix where the presence of an 0S/2 Boot Manager caused the -FCR and -CRC32,ACTION=DCREATE switches to produce different CRC files from the same source.
    * Fix where corruption in the FAT chain caused image files to fail integrity checks.
    * Fix for disk detection failing on some parallel drives.
    * -FNX switch now disables extended services in the geometry detection routines as well as the cloning routines.
    * -DL switch will now exclude a drive from the geomtery detection. This overcomes the problem caused by some SCSI cards which incorrectly reported tape drives to the BIOS as hard drives. If you suspect this is a problem, you will receive an Abort 10182 error message when starting GHOST. To rectify, run GHOST with the -DL=n switch, where n=<127+the number of disks on the system>.
    * Fixed bug with GHOST 5.x causing Multicast Server to reset itself after 64 clients where connected.
    * Fix for handling of IP addresses 0.0.0.0.
    * Fix specific to Crynwr packet drivers.

    * The DOS client contains fixes to defects in the TCP protocol implementation which were causing clients to "stall" in DOS just after the Ghost stage of executing a console task.
    * The Win32 server contained a bug which would duplicate machines in the console display; this has been fixed, although the duplicates will remain in the console database until manually removed.
    * The Win32 server was obeying the "Use Default Configuration" flag in the database and sending default configurations to clients all the time. This flag retained its value even when the task contained no configuration step, now the server ignores this setting as it should have.
    * Win9X client on SCSI machines disk access (this was already fixed in build 60 e.g. all localized builds).
    * Ghost.exe now supports EXT2 file systems with block sizes of 2Kb and 4kb as well as the default 1Kb. This affects most recent distributions of Linux.
