INSTALLER DEVELOPMENT
$VER: Installer_Dev 1.26 (22.4.93)
(c) Copyright 1991-93 Commodore-Amiga, Inc. All Rights Reserved
This archive contains the software installation utility Installer 1.24,
Installer.doc, a sample installer script (install-test), sample
installer script project icon (install-test.info), and a free electronic
Product License Agreement for distribution of Installer.
For USERS OF INSTALLER
======================
A simple "InstallInstaller" shell script with icon is provided.
This will copy Installer to your SYS:Utilities directory if it does
not find a newer version of Installer already there.
NOTE: Installer itself does not have an icon.
For APPLICATIONS USING INSTALLER
================================
Commercial applications will probably want to ship Installer with
their product. For this purpose, a print/sign/send distribution
license is included in this archive. Shareware and freeware
applications may also license and include Installer. However,
Installer is relatively large and it does not make sense to
include it in dozens of different shareware/freeware archives.
Instead, we hope that these shareware/freeware applications
will be able to simply require their user to have Installer installed
on their system in SYS:Utilities/, and will use SYS:Utilities/Installer
as the default tool of their Installer script project icon.
The "Installer" program is in the same drawer as the sample installer script.
The Installer program itself does not have an icon but is called as the
installer project script icon's Default Tool. As provided, the icon's
default tool is just "Installer" and this is correct for an installation
script which is in the same directory as the Installer program, or for
any 2.0 or higher installations where Installer is expected to be in
a path searched by Workbench. If plan to ship only an Installer script
and icon, and wish it to also work under 1.3, then change the default
tool to SYS:Utilities/Installer (1.3 Workbench does not search paths).
Installer (version 1.24) and the install script project icon
may be distributed by developers who have a Workbench License and
an Installer Amendment, and also by developers who print out, complete,
sign, and submit the included Installer.License agreement.
This version of Installer is 1.3 compatible. It does not require 2.0
but therefore also does not have language localization.
