VERSION CHANGES & UPDATES
Version 2.0 2/8/92
Renamed to FIRST IMPRESSION and down to less that 45k!
Hard error recovery was added. This will prevent thing from going awry
if a user takes out the disk or uses a write protected disk and the like.
Now checks for game port, math coprocessor and base memory.
Developers now have the option of letting the user have the option to add
the subdirectory to the PATH statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Graphical Display Amusers(GDA) were added. One of six may be displayed
as the files are being copied. This may prevent the user from falling
asleep while the installation is occuring.
A file browser was also added to let users view up to four README.1ST files.
Improved multiple directory installations.
Added a windowing utility, SETUP.EXE, that will allow developers to create
customized windows.
Sound was added and is optional.
The fill character that appeared in all the fields to fill in, '_', was
changed to a small dot. When the character was used in text it was converted
to a space.
Version 1.5c
Allows the CONFIG.SYS file to update the FILES and BUFFERS statements.
If the subdirectory is not added to the path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
the user will be prompt for the drive that the computer boots from,
otherwise it uses the same drive that the autoexec.bat file was located.
This routine will not ask the user if they want to do this or not, it is
performed automatically. After all, your program will not work without it.
The values are filled in in the INSTALL ENHANCEMENTS menu option.
The ability to Shell to DOS was added when in INSTALIT.
Version 1.5b
The window that copies files from source to destination was not clearing
itself and kept showing files being copied as Error Opening: filename
after it needed the next disk with the following file.
You can now hardcode the user name into two files. This was orginally
done for internal purposes but I thought others might be interested in
it as well.
Version 1.5a
Four more border types have been added to the window sections.
INSTALL.EXE will now check if the DOS version on the system running
meets your minimum required version.
