AZZA-SFV
A small program to create an SFV or verify files with an SFV.
An SFV "Simple File Verification" is a text file (you can open it in notepad) and in its most basic form contains a list of filenames and CRC values. Each CRC value has been pre-calculated from the relevant file. The idea being that if you run AZZA-SFV, it can re-calculate CRC values from the files, compare them with the SFV list and tell you that the files are not corrupt. A slightly extended SFV file can contain dates/times/sizes and comments.
FEATURES:
- Reasonably small EXE (<300k).
- Drag and drop an SFV file from explorer onto the application. It will load the SFV and offer the VERIFY option as default.
- Associate the program EXE with .SFV file in windows so double clicking an SFV loads up the application with the SFV and offer the VERIFY option as default.
- Create a Send To entry so right clicking files and selecting Send To> Azza-SFV can create SFV easily.
- Drag and drop any other file(s) from explorer onto the application to create an SFV.
- Optional re-checking of only files that failed.
- Check an individual file.
- Add file information (size/date/time) as comments into the SFV.
- Load or enter personal comments into the SFV.
- Complete compatibility with WinSFV.

Version History
---------------
v4.01
Enhancement: Added a right click option in Verify (file list) to "copy all problem filename(s) to clipboard". I found it useful when mailing someone a list of files I needed.
v4.00
Enhancement: Added in Multi-Folder processing to verify/create SFV's in folders/sub folders. Phew - big changes so main version number incremented!
Bug Fix: Stopped 'Access violation' error which occurred if an sfv contained a blank line.
v3.12
Bug Fix: Well and truly knackered up the Send To feature with the below bug fix so had to re-test and fixed it again.
v3.11
Bug Fix: Expanding the short file names using the Windows API didn't work under 95/98 so I use another method.
v3.10
Bug Fix: Send To option in Windows 95/98 passed short file names - I now expand them to Long file names.
Enhancement: Added If CRC Error... to Verify options to do either nothing (as it was), delete the file or rename the file to *.bad
Enhancement: Added If Missing Error... to Verify options to do either nothing (as it was) or create a *.missing 0 byte file.
v3.00
** COMPLETE RE-WRITE IN DELPHI 6 ** as I lost source.
Based on look and feel of 2.31 with a few enhancements...
Enhancement: Removed Skip button and replaced Skipped in status panel with Open Error.
Enhancement: Can handle Unix SFV files (no CR+LF, just LF!)
Enhancement: Can remove files from create list by double clicking file or pressing DEL.
Enhancement: Can default SFV filename (when creating) from file or directory name.
Enhancement: If application is minimized during verify/create, it will restore itself and bring it to the front of any other windows before displaying the final confirmation box.
Enhancement: Plays associated system sound if error or ok when displaying final confirmation box.
Enhancement: Saves and restores position of main window.
Enhancement: Added setting/warning/special icon if filename(s) are >64 [as this invalidates CD ISO rules).
Major big thanks go to Man Prost for beta-testing/bug spotting and suggestions.
v2.31
