Hi all, I haven't recieved any comments about InstallKit 1.0... did you get it? Maybe you're mad at me because I didn't relase the source code? Please understand that as the first version it uses some "experimental" techniques (the SFX and how data is stored). I would like to have some feedback to improve it. Once I've defined and perfected these techniques I'll release the file format specifications and source code (at least the algorithmic part). If I would post the code now, probably I'll recieve millions of suggestions like: Hey if you put this instead of that... I changed the atom for an int... etc... And at this phase I don't care about optimization. But how it acts, and new ideas (Password protection is already in my plans, as well as multi spanning disk, and if god is great make the uncompression routine faster, checking for available drives, group installations). -- Regards, Daniel Berstein architek at geocities.com http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/9316
