Visible::Setup-G
-----------------
VGA splashcreen edition of Visible::Setup(tm),
developers' installation utility for DOS applications
vG1.0
a product of RCCO Research
Visible::Setup-G is a special edition of the widely-used Visible::Setup(tm)
installation utility that will display a developer-designed VGA .pcx file
(640x480x16) as a sign-on splashcreen for a customized introduction to the
install program. After the image display, Visible::Setup-G performs the
same type of text-mode installation procedure as the standard version of
Visible::Setup. Non-VGA systems will display the same opening screen (a
text-mode splashscreen with customizable banner) as with the standard
version of Visible::Setup.
Visible::Setup-G is a simple, basic install utility for DOS applications.
It is easier for the developer to configure an installation sequence with
Visible::Setup-G than with batch files (i.e., the much-maligned
'install.bat'), yet far more elegant and professional in execution and
appearance. In utilizing Visible::Setup-G, there is no scripting language
to learn, there are no macros to write, nor are there unusual setup practices
that deviate from customary, familiar usage in the DOS environment.
Visible::Setup-G provides a clean, professional image to all application
installations.
Color usage and screen text formatting during the installation process itself
is clean, simple, and intentionally compatible with traditional DOS text, as
the program makes judicious use of DOS services during the installation
process. Colors, attributes, and screen prompts are specifically designed to
be usable and visible on all color, monochrome, and laptop/notebook displays.
The demonstration for the Visible::Setup-G program is provided by performing
an installation of itself. Therefore, the developer may begin evaluation of
Visible::Setup-G by observing its installation: the developer's installation
sequences will have similar execution and appearance.
Visible::Setup-G may be used with most traditional MS-DOS language
installations, including those created with CA-Clipper, Borland Turbo Pascal,
QuickBASIC, PowerBasic, Visual Basic(tm) for DOS, dBase, Clarion, FoxPro, C,
etc. It is small, efficient, and executes cleanly and swiftly from DOS (or
a DOS box in Windows(tm) ). Its small file size (about 24k, not compressed)
provides for minimal space usage on distribution disks.
Comprehensive documentation is included. The full registration fee is only
$44.95.
Program Requirements
---------------------
The requirements for creating Visible::Setup-G installation sequences include
a DOS-compatible PC with 512k memory. DOS 3.1 (or later) or Windows 3.x (or
greater) should be utilized. To display a developer-designed VGA .pcx
splashscreen, the end-user must have a VGA-capable system; non-VGA systems
will display a default text-mode splashscreen with customizable banner.

[ Please note the similarly-named edition of Visible::Setup-G called
Visible::Setup -- the standard version of the program. The standard version
of Visible::Setup, also from RCCO Research, works solely in text-mode and
offers a similar type of installation procedure; we point out the similar
names to help avoid confusion about the two products. ]
