 1.Introducing
      Welcome to the one of the best setup toolkit! InPack v1.51 has been 
    designed to make creating a professional installation fast and easy. 
    Therefore, it will be easy for your user to install your's applications.
    All that and you don't write a single line of code.
      In today world of computers, there are many illegall copies of all
    kind of computer programs. How to protect authors of all programs by
    not allowing no one else to make installation disks but authors of
    these programs, is one of the main task in this program package. If we
    presume that are most of users can't change executable files, applications
    installed with program package 'InPack v1.51' will be very safe from
    coping them, or from install then for more then one user.
      This is the main diference of this program package comparing to other
    similar programs. When your user launches installation program, he or she
    will be asked to write serial number (which is create by you), name and 
    address. After confirming entered data, in next installation process
    he or she won't be able to change this data. Next step in program 
    protection is writing this data directly to executable program due
    installation process (this data you can use in reports, forms etc.).
    Data are encrypted by here given formula, before writing to file.
    If user return installation disk(s) (damaged or something) you will be
    able to see his or she data, and return him new installation disk(s)
    now with entered his data.

 2. Making installation flopy disks
      After launching MIFiles.exe (Make Installation Files) program, on screen
    will apear menu with sixth options. With keys up and down you can move
    troughth menu. By pressing key Enter you can choose selected option.
    To make proper installation disk(s) you have to pass option 1 to 5.

   2.2.5. Encode key
      Encode key will be used to encrypt your user information. Encrypted
    information will be written in file you chose in section 2.2.2. Here
    is program who encrypt and decrypt string with same key. If you don't
    want to encrypt your user information, just leave this field empty.

        function Code(inWord, key: string): string;
        var i: byte;
            result: string;
        begin
            result := '';
            for i:=1 to Length(inWord) do
              result := result + chr( ord(inWord[i]) xor
                                      ord(key[(i mod Length(key))+1]));
            Code := result;
        end;

 


 3. Application installation
      To install application made with MIFiles program, you just
    type Install. After welcome note you entered, press enter to
    continue. After that user will have to enter some information
    about him, and also a serial number.
