About...
Visible::Setup(tm)
-------------------
developers' installation utility for DOS applications
v1.2
Visible::Setup is a simple, basic install utility for DOS applications.
It is easier for the developer to configure an installation sequence with
Visible::Setup than with batch files (ie, the much-maligned 'install.bat'),
yet far more elegant and professional in execution and appearance. In
utilizing Visible::Setup, there is no scripting language to learn, there
are no scripts or macros to write, nor are there unusual setup practices
that deviate from customary, familiar usage in the DOS environment.
Visible::Setup provides a clean, professional image to all application
installations.
Color usage and screen text formatting 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 program is provided by performing
an installation of itself. Therefore, the developer may begin evaluation of
Visible::Setup by observing its installation: the developer's installation
sequences will have similar execution and appearance.
Visible::Setup 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, 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 16k, not compressed)
provides for minimal space usage on distribution disks.
Comprehensive documentation is included. The full registration fee is only
$29.95.
Program Requirements
---------------------
The requirements for creating Visible::Setup installation sequences
include a DOS-compatible PC with 512k memory. DOS 3.1 (or later) or
Windows 3.x (or greater) should be utilized.
[ Please note there is a similarly-named companion product from RCCO
Research called Visible::Setup-G -- a special edition of Visible::Setup
that will display a developer-designed VGA .pcx file (640x480x16) as a
sign-on splashcreen for a customized introduction to the installation
process. 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. We point out the similar names to help avoid
confusion about the two products.
Visible::Setup-G, like the standard version of Visible::Setup, is available
through traditional user-supported software sources. ]
