- If you still don`t know, what NewInstaller is, here`s the
- description:
-
- There are many Software Packages on Aminet without any
- Installer although Commodore developed the Installer
- tool which provides a easy-to-use graphical user interface
- with powerful functions.
-
- But many people complained that they were too lazy or it
- would be too hard to create a script for the Commodore
- Installer.
-
- This time is over now. NewInstaller allows everyone to
- include a script in his Software Package for the famous Commodore
- Installer. But no - you need not to edit it - NewInstaller does
- all automatically.
-
- The only thing you need to do is including an install icon
- in your Software Package with default tool NewInstaller.
- Additionally you can change some things in the Tooltypes.
-
- NewInstaller is fully integrated into Internet. You only
- need to add a tooltype and the user can online register your program
- if he wants. Or add an other tooltype and the user can visit
- your homepage immediately.
-
- But there`s more: NewInstaller can make the installation of your
- program to a great Multimedia event. It can display different pictures,
- play samples and modules. It even doesn`t matter if the installation
- is running on AGA/ECS/OCS/Gfx boards...It will always look as good as
- possible. Pictures are remapped and resized to the current screen
- definitions!
-
- NewInstaller is an intelligent program with powerful
- features. Here are some:
-
- * fully integrated into Internet (Online Registration,
- WWW visits....)
-
- * Graphics can be used (with remapping to WB colors
- and resizing to WB resolution). Compatible with
- ECS/OCS/AGA and Gfx boards!
-
- * Sounds can be used
-
- * Multi language: Your Installer appears in the user`s mother tongue
- because of the locale.library support and the more
- than 15 supplied catalogs
-
- * Update function: NewInstaller keeps every Software installed with
- full path and version in mind
-
- * UnInstall function: Just add one tooltype and the user will be asked
- if an UnInstall script shall be created
-
- * Intelligent handling: If no name, author and version specified in
- the Tooltypes NewInstaller tries to figure them out
-
- * Recognizing of many types: NewInstaller recognizes many filetypes.
- For example: Executables, docs, libs, fonts,
- ARexx scripts, MUI files, Prefs....
- So if there is a Fonts drawer for example
- NewInstaller will tell the user that
- the program needs XXX.font in FONTS: and so on...
-
- * Assign support: You can specify assigns in the Tooltypes which
- shall be added in S:User-Startup
-
- * Unarchive support: LHA and LZX archives will be unarchived and the user
- can select the files from the archive he wants. This
- option can be turned off in the Tooltypes.
- Then the archives will only be copied
-
- * Confirm all operations: NewInstaller tells the user every operation before
- he does it so the user has to confirm the operation
- or skip it !. This can be turned off in the
- Tooltypes
-
- That were only some of NewInstaller`s powerful features. Many things can be
- changed in the Tooltypes.
-
- I decided to release NewInstaller as Shareware. The registration fee
- is 10 DM ($7 US-Dollar) via email or 15 DM ($12 US-Dollar) via post.
