; About This File
; ===============
;
; This file, APPSETUP.INF, contains information that Install uses to
; install applications. This file must be in the same directory as the
; program file INSTALL.EXE. The two files can be on a floppy disk, a hard
; disk, or a network disk drive.
;
; The information in this file determines
;
;   * The names of the disks and directories from which, and to which, Install
;     copies files
;
;   * The name of the group that Install creates in Program Manager's window, and the
;     names of program items that Install adds to that group
;
; You can create your own Install program by changing some of the information
; in this file.
;
; The Parts of APPSETUP.INF
; -------------------------
;
; APPSETUP.INF is similar in format to a Windows initialization (.INI) file.
;
; Sections: APPSETUP.INF is divided     into sections. Each section is identified by an
;           alphanumeric name enclosed in square brackets.
;
;           Most section names are "hard-coded": Install is written to search for
;           in APPSETUP.INF for that specific section name. However, some section
 ;          names are defined within other sections, and are therefore easily
;           customizable.
;
; Comments: A comment begins with a semicolon. You can include a comment
;           on the same line as syntax, as long as it comes after the syntax.
;
; Spaces:   Spaces are ignored, except when between double quotes.
;           Blank lines are also ignored.
;
; Sections in This File
; ---------------------
;
; The rest of this file contains the actual sections and statements
; that make up the working file. It also includes comments that
; explain each section and statement.
;

[dialog]
; The [dialog] section contains information pertaining to Install's dialog box.
;
; The Caption statement determines the text that appears in the title bar
; of Install's dialog box.
;
; The following Caption statement specifies the caption "Demo App Installation".
; To specify your own caption, replace the text "Demo App Installation" with the
; title you want (enclosed in double quotes).

  caption = "Demo App Installation"

[data]
; The [data] section includes information about the location to which the
; application's files should be copied.
;
; The Defdir statement specifies the default directory for installing the
; application. This is the drive and directory name that will appear in the
; Install dialog box. The user can specify a different installation directory
; by typing a different name. (The Defdir statement MUST include a drive letter.)
;
; The following Defdir statement tells Install to display the default directory
; C:\DEMOAPP when asking the user where to install the application.
; To specify your own default directory, replace the text C:\DEMOAPP with
; the drive and directory you want.

  defdir = C:\DEMOAPP

[disks]
; The [disks] section defines the distribution disks that contain the application
; files. Install uses this information to tell the user to insert the correct disk.
;
; Elsewhere within this .INF file, the distribution disks are normally referred to
; by a single-character disk ID. This section defines those disk IDs, and includes
; information about the disk to which each disk ID refers.
;
; The disk ID '0' is reserved; it represents the installation directory --
; the directory in which the user is installing the application.
;
; The format of each disk definition is:
;
;     n = path, title
;
;  where
;     n       is the disk ID (a single character from 1-9 or A-Z).
;
;     path    the path of the source directory from which Install should copy
;             the files to the disk  The path can be relative to the
;             source directory (see examples below).
;
;     title   is a descriptive name for the disk. The title should match
;             the disk's printed or written label exactly.
;
; The following disk-definition statements define two distribution disks.

  1 =.,        "Demo Application Disk 1"
  2 =.\files,  "Demo Application Disk 2"

; The first statement tells Install to refer to Disk 1 as "Demo Application
; Disk 1". Because the period (.) denotes the current directory, the files
; on that disk will be copied from the root directory of the
; distribution disk.
;
; The second statement tells Install to refer to Disk 2 as "Demo Application
; Disk 2"; the files that Disk 2 contains will be copied from the \FILES
; directory of the distribution disk.
;
; You can include as many disk-definition statements as necessary. Every
; distribution disk should have a corresponding disk-definition statement;
; otherwise, Install cannot tell the user to insert the appropriate disk.

[needed.space]
; The [needed.space] section defines how much disk space, in bytes, your
; application files require. If the specified amount of space is not available,
; Install will ask the user to specify a different hard disk, or exit Install.
; The following statement tells Install that this application requires 300KB of disk
; space:
;
  minspace = 300000
;
[app.copy.appstuff]

; The [app.copy.appstuff] section contains section-definition statements.
; Each statement defines a section that lists application files to be
; copied as part of installation. The sections are organized by file
; destination; you should define a separate section for each destination
; directory.
;
; Each section definition has the following form:
;
;     #section_name, 0:dest_pathname
;
; where
;
;     #section_name   defines the name of the .INF section that lists the
;                     files to be copied.
;     0                   is the disk ID that represents the installation directory.
;                     (0 is a reserved disk ID, and always represents the
;                     installation directory -- the directory the user specified
;                     when asked where to install the application.)
;     dest_pathname   is the pathname of the destination directory, relative
;                     to the installation directory. For example, "0:FILES"
;                     represents the FILES subdirectory of the installation
;                     directory.
;
; The following section-definition statements define two sections, [app.user]
; and [app.system]. The files listed in the [app.user] section will be copied
; into the installation directory; those listed in the [app.system] directory
; will be copied into the SYSTEM subdirectory of the installation directory.

      #app.user,    0:
      #app.system , 0:system

[app.user]
; This section is a user-defined section that lists files to be copied to a
; particular destination directory. The [app.copy.appstuff] section defines.
; the name of this section and the destination directory of the files.
;
; In each section like this one, you should list all files that you want copied
; to the same destination. (For example, all the files in this section, [app.user],
; will be copied to the installation directory.)
;
; Install copies the files listed in this section in the order in which they
; are listed.
;
; The syntax of each file listing is
;
;     N:FILENAME, "Description"
;
; where
;
;     N:           is the disk ID of the disk that contains the file. (Disk IDs
;                  are defined in the [disks] section.) If the specified disk
;                  is not in the disk drive, Install prompts the user to insert it.
;
;     FILENAME     is the name of the file, including the filename extension, if any.
;
;     Description  is descriptive text that Install displays as it is copying
;                  the file or group of files.  If you leave the description blank,
;                  Install will continue displaying the descriptive text from the
;                  previous file. This lets you use a general name for a group of files.
;
; For example, the first statement below tells Install to copy the file FILE1.FOO from
; Disk 1, and to display the descriptive text "Demo App" while copying that file. As
; explained above, the destination of the files in this section is determined by a
; section-definition statement in the [app.copy.appstuff] section.

  1:file1.foo, "Demo App"
  1:file2.foo, "Demo App Help"
  1:file3.foo, "Frogs Demo"
  1:demo.ico, "Demo Icon"
  2:file4.foo, "Elephants Demo"

[app.system]
; Like the [app.user] section, this section is user-defined, and lists
; files to be copied to a particular destination directory. The
; [app.copy.appstuff] section defines.the name of this section and the
; destination directory of the files listed in this section.
; See the preceding section for a description of the syntax for listing
; files.

  2:driver1.foo, "Demo App Drivers"
  2:driver2.foo


[progman.groups]
; The [progman.groups] section (optional) tells Install to create Program
; Manager groups for your application. (Install then uses DDE to communicate
; with Program Manager.)
;
; The section lists the names of the groups you want to create. You then
; define additional sections in this file; those sections list the program
; items you want in each group.
;
; The syntax for each group name is:
;
;     groupname, [groupfile.grp]
;
; where
;
;     groupname      is the title you want Program Manager to display
;                    under the icon that represents the group. (The
;                    groupname will also be the name of the section
;                    that defines the contents of the group.)
;
;     groupfile.grp  is the filename of the file in which Program Manager
;                    will save information about the group. (You must include
;                    the .GRP filename extension.) This parameter is optional;
;                    if you omit it, Install uses a default name for the
;                    group file.
;
; The following group-definition statement tells Install to create a group named
; Demo, and store its information in a file named DEMO_APP.GRP. The [demo] section
; will contain information about the group's contents.

  Demo,demo_app.grp

[Demo]
; This section is a user-defined section that define the contents of a
; Program Manager group file. The [progman.groups] section defines.
; the name of this section and the group, and the name of the file in which
; to store information about the group.
;
; In each section like this one, you should list all items that you want Install
; to add to the group.
;
; The syntax for item-definition statements is:
;
;     "Description",    APPFILE.EXE, [ICONFILE.EXE[, N]]
;
;where
;
;     Description   is the text that will appear below the program icon
;                   when displayed in the Program Manager group.
;
;     APPFILE.EXE   is the command line that starts the application.
;
;     ICONFILE.EXE  is the application file that contains the icon you
;                   want to represent the application. Typically, this is
;                   the executable application file, but it could be a
;                   different file. (You can also specify a .ICO file, created
;                   using the SDKPaint tool.) This parameter is optional; if you omit it,
;                   Install will use the first icon it finds in APPFILE.EXE.
;
;     N             is the offset of the icon you want to use within the file
;                   ICONFILE.EXE.  This parameter is optional; if you omit it,
;                   Install uses the first icon it finds in ICONFILE.EXE.
;                   You must include this parameter if the file you specify
;                   contains more than one icon, and you want to use an icon
;                   other than the first icon.
;
;                   To use the Nth icon, specify the number N-1. For example,
;                   to use the third icon, specify 2.
;
; For example, the following item-definition statement tells Install to add an item
; titled "Demo Application" to Program Manager. The application command line
; is FILE1.FOO; the file that contains the application icon is DEMO.ICO

"Demo Application", file1.foo, demo.ico
"Samples", file2.foo, demo.ico
