- I know the new Installer by Amiga Technologies, and so I think,
- Retire is not absolutely required for the future of Amiga. But
- I needed something to check the Aminet upload via the German Telekom
- (it's my first trial) and the old version of Retire was still in
- the net. Here is a newer one. (19-may-96)

- Retire is a simple way to remove entries of applications from the
- S:User-Startup file without using the installer.
-
- It is useful in shell scripts for uninstalling of applications.
-
- The syntax is
-
- retire <application_name> [<application_name_2> ...]
-
- Retire searchs for the standard installer type entries:
- ;BEGIN <application_name>
- ...
- ;END <application_name>
-
- If found, Retire removes the lines from BEGIN to END of the application
- entry.
- If the next END does not match the BEGIN (different application name),
- an error message tells you the problem and nothing will be removed.
-
- Application names containing spaces must be written in quotes.
-
- Retire is in the Public Domain, so you can do with it what you want.
- Detailed information how Retire works you will find in the source code.
