The CIDSAMPLE PACKAGE contains sample code that may help customers
and ISVs ``CID-enable'' their software installation programs.
``CID-enabled'' means that the installation program follows the
CID-enablement guidelines published by IBM and therefore can be
installed remotely, over the network, using one of the various
software distribution products such as Netview DM/2 or LCU.
The package contains a complete cid-enabled installation program,
written in REXX. Customers and ISVs might use this example as
a model for modifying their own installation programs to be
CID-enabled.
The package also contains 3 sample programs that show how response
files can be processed. The samples use a set of APIs (also
included in the package) to isolate the ugly part of response file
parsing. Using the APIs, a simple response file parsing program
can be written in just a few lines (see sample1.c).
The code in this package is public domain. It can be given to
anyone, and they may use it in any way, without restriction.
And a lawyer here says it's OK.
To use this package, download the file CIDSAMPLE ZIPBIN to an
OS/2 workstation, and unpack it (preferably into its own subdirectory)
using PKUNZIP2. Documentation is in the file api.txt.
I will fix any major glitches, oversights and errors of fact in
this package. Report problems to BOBBLAIR@AUSTIN.
