------=_NextPart_000_000F_01BF90DF.D397A220 charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Currently this is what I have up and running. I have a designer = interface, that lets you add files and folders to your "project", rename = and save your project, remove files and folders from it, and add and = remove shortcuts to the start menu (not implemented just yet). In = addition, I also have the "unbundler" working, with everything but the = shortcuts. I plan on adding : default install paths, a user defined install path = (this may help you, where the user can pick where his program is already = installed... or maybe i should code a "file check" ability where it = checks to find a file and if it isnt there then it knows it is a fresh = installation?), user defined bitmaps for the front end, user defined = messages for the front end, and so on. I also need to program the uninstaller... I havent started on this yet. = I only started work on "Spectre setup" yesterday! Lol. What I plan on doing with the program is releasing a shareware version, = that lets you work with so many files/ folders, like say 20 files, and = registering will give some functionality. I don't plan on releasing the = source code, however when its done I will give a discount to euphorians = who want the full version. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Brown <mabrown at SENET.COM.AU> To: EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU <EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU> Date: Saturday, March 18, 2000 3:10 AM Subject: Re: Create shortcut Hi Pete. Are you planning on releasing the code for this? I'm very interested = as I have been planning an installer for the Morfit distribution. What I'd really like to see is the installer allow the user to give it = the location of a previously installed earlier version (via an explorer = window or something?) and then be able to use what ever components from = the old distribution are still valid, combined with the new. Morfit is a = big download and I'd like the download size to be as small as possible = for users of an earlier version.
