INSTALL will decompress and copy files that were archived by PUT.EXE and
written to a Put-File with an ".INS" extension. This program is useful
for installing software products using a space saving PUT compressed file.
NOTE - Important naming convention for INSTALL Put-Files: The file
name must be six characters long plus the INS extension. The
first three are letters identifying the program and the last
three are the version number...
Example Put-File creation: PUT C:\PROGRAM\FILES PRG321.INS
(INSTALL will identify this file a PRG version 3.21)
The only two files needed by the user to install your program
would be INSTALL.EXE and PRG321.INS.
USAGE: [d:][path]INSTALL [/VM]
Use [d:][path] before INSTALL to specify the drive and path that
contains the INSTALL program. The program to install (*.INS)
must be in the same directory as INSTALL.EXE. Use [/VM] to force
the video to monochrome mode.
EXAMPLE: A:INSTALL
Install a program from a diskette in the A: drive.
EXAMPLE: C:\UNZIPPED\INSTALL /VM
Install a program from a hard disk directory with mono screen.
EXAMPLE: INSTALL
Install a progam from the current drive/directory or one found
through the DOS path.
If there is more than one program to install (multiple *.INS files) from
the same directory, INSTALL will display a list of the files for the user
to choose from. If there is only one, the pick-list will be skipped. Next
the user will be prompted for the install-to directory. The default can
be accepted or it can be changed. After confirmation of the installation
directories, the files are decompressed and copied into the user's disk
directory. If there are other programs that can be installed, the list
is displayed again, otherwise INSTALL displays the new files and quits.
Note - Three letter program codes already used internally by INSTALL:
AHP BBS EZT HDM LAN NOS PED PPT PUT SEE UTL
Avoid using the above codes in your install file (HDMnnn.INS)
