- How about making the inst-ify programs available? Being able to create
- distribution tapes that can be installed with "inst" would be a big win.
-
- Even if that program is too ugly or too hard to use to be "user-rated",
- I am sure a lot of people would like to have it anyway. SGI has made
- available other unsupported programs, disclaimers are cheap. It can't
- be much more arcane than that classic sendmail SGI ships, can it? :-)
-
- Have you noticed that no two third-party programs have the same install
- procedure? Life would be so much easier if everyone could simply use inst.
