Outdated packages and dysfunctional clamav

Reported by Fritz Mueller: e) tree (3.7 --> 3.7.2)
Tree is already at 3.7.2 in our repo. Where did you see 3.7?
just a short additional info, clamav itself does not work, there is an additional prog that works, forgot name, but you need a lot of ram more than 20 mb to make it work.
Do you mean the "clamdb" package by saying "additional prog"?

Hi, I checked again.
a) Tree is already at 3.7.2 in our repo. Where did you see 3.7?
I just started svardos April version. The file in there was created at 2021-07-07 and has 9893 Bytes size.
I found this in Tree 3.7.2 history:
History for FreeDOS tree.
03 September 2002 Tree 3.7.2 - Jeremy Davis <jeremyd@computer.org>
16 October 2001 Tree 3.7.1 - Jim Hall <jhall@freedos.org>
07 July 2001 Tree 3.7 - Jeremy Davis <jeremyd@computer.org>
Feb 2001 Tree 3.6.1
Tree.com 3.7. and 3.7.2 have the same hash value whereas tree 3.7.1 from Jim Hall has a different one and 15.664 Bytes, created: 2001-10-16, so I am not sure which is the newer one.
I just tested FD 2210 - they use tree.com with 9.893 Byte.
b) Do you mean the "clamdb" package by saying "additional prog"?
I just tested the latest FD2210, c:\util\clamav, alltogether: 27.039.846 Bytes.
There is a main.cvd (21.253.696 Byte) and a daily.cvd (2.517.688). So far ok.
Clamconf.exe exits with an error message:
LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: file not found - unrar support unavailable.
Optional features supported: AUTOIT_EA06 BZIP2 RAR
Database directory: /dev/env/DOSDIR/lib
Clamdtop exits with an error message:
Cant parse clamd configuration file /dev/env/DOSDIR/lib/clamd.conf
Abnormal program termination: Invalid command-line arguments in setup at line 1144
Clamscan runs through within 1 second with the following message:
LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: file not found - unrar support unavailable
LibClamAV Error: cl_load(): Cant get status of /dev/env/DOSDIR/lib
ERROR: Cant get file status.
Freshcla.exe exits with the error message:
ERROR: Cant open/parse the config file /dev/enu/DOSDIR/lib/clamav.cnf
Sigtool offers the whole options - that's all.
So, as I can see it clamav itself does not work. But:
At: ibiblio at https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/clamav/ there is a file fdavx.zip (2010-02-222)
If you insert the files fdav.exe and fdav.hlp in the folder C:\util\clamav and start it (FD Anti-Virus 0.2.2 - keep in mind that you need a lot of RAM for the virus database!!!) you get a GUI that says: "Loading the virus database, then you have to wait a while - and if you enough RAM it starts with searching for viruses. I just use 32 MB of RAM and wait more than 10 minutes for start. With 96 MB RAM "Loading the virus database" was done within a minute. Then "Scanning" runs and shows a progress bar. As there is no virus within my machine I cannot check if it really works, but it runs through all files.

several fdos files are outdated:
a) format (0.91v-->0.91w)
b) label (1.4b --> 1.4c - NLS support now)
c) debug (1.25 --> at least 1.28 or higher)
d) himemx (not sure)
e) tree (3.7 --> 3.7.2)
you will find most of them at: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/latest/
