- That's really strange... let me look at the script from my copy of the
- 5.10b master...
-
- Yep. Here's what mine says:
-
- --------------------- cut --------------------------------
-
- echo "With AmigaDOS 2.0, there are a newer set of include files"
- echo "You may choose to install the existing 1.3 header files,"
- echo "the newer 2.0 header files, or both sets."
- echo " "
- ask "Install 1.3 header files? "
- if warn
- .
- .
- .
- [stuff for 1.3 header installation]
- .
- .
- .
- endif
- ask "Install 2.0 header files? "
- if warn
- .
- .
- .
- [stuff for 2.0 header installation]
- .
- .
- .
- endif
-
- -------------------- cut ---------------------------------
-
- This is from lines 94 - 142 of the file 's/install_hd' on Disk #1 of the
- 5.10b distribution. As far as I can tell, this particular section of
- lines is exactly the same as the 5.10 and 5.10a distributions as well.

-
- The above seems to give a pretty clear choice, with nothing forced on
- you by the script...
-

-
- Yes, 6.0 is *much* easier to install, since we're now using Commodore's
- Installer. Only having the 2.0 includes is no problem, since you can
- still create programs that work with 1.3, as long as you don't access
- any 2.0 specific features.
