- !Install
- ========
-
- Purpose : To install the !JFShared directory into !System
-
- Usage : Run the application.
- Click Install.
- Click Close.
- Any errors are probably due to non-standard !System structure, or
- fiddling :-)
-
- Why ?
- =====
- The !JFShared directory contains resources for use with any of Justin
- Fletcher's programs. These mainly include Basic libraries which are used in
- many of his programs.
- This install program simply places these in the System folder and allows it
- to boot correctly. It will alter your !System.!Boot file so that it the
- JFShared directory is booted at the same time as the !System directory is.
- Unlike the CC installation program, the key word here is 'alter' and it
- should be quite obvious which lines have been added to the !System.!Boot
- file.

- History
- -------
- Version 1.00 : ?? ??? ????
- First version written
- Very simple, with no real checking as to what it was doing -
- like a certain CC product :-( Just a BASIC program
-
- Version 1.01 : ?? ??? ????
- Second version (released with JFShared 2.21)
- Now made to look like an application, and has a lovelly check
- routine to see if the library has already been installed.
-
- Version 1.02 : 15 Apr 1996
- Third version (released with JFShared 2.26)
- Full application with checks for System directory, and
- JFShared being available, and System:!Boot file created if
- necessary.
- Should now cope with most eventualities, and notify the user
- of anything it can't handle.
-
- Version 1.03 : 17 Apr 1996
- Bug fixes (released with JFShared 2.27)
- After claiming most strongly to Chris that it'll work with
- anything and then seeing it patently fail, the checking code
- has been improved slightly to cope with bugs in Longfiles.
- Grrr... /Now/ it should cope with most eventualities !
-
- Version 1.04 : 20 Apr 1996
- Bug fixes (release with JFShared 2.28)
- Andrew Theirry (sp?) spotted a minor but irritating bug which
- stopped the program installing anything. Doh, aren't I stupid.
- How do you spell system ? It's not systeam, that's for sure.
-
- Version 1.05 : 18 Aug 1996
- Bug fixes (release with JFShared 2.31)
- A couple of people spotted that RPC's have their System:!Boot
- file protected and so the program could not install.
- Now sets the access to WR/wr before changing it.
-
- Version 1.06 : 17 Oct 1996
- Bugfixes and improvements
- This is the alternate to the AOL release which is plain silly.
