I was thinking about something similar to Slackware installation utility.
Similar interface but more fool-proof and intuitive.

I plan to use zlib from InfoZip to provide internal decompression, integrate
the executable with PMode extender. This makes the program entirely
stand-alone. I imagine that it would run in concert with djverify, wouldn't

You can't brush me under the carpet, you can't hide me under the stairs,
The custodian of your private fears, your leading actor of yesteryear,
Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity, sentenced to rejection
in the morass of anonymity. You who I directed with a lover's will, you
who I let hypnotise the lens. You who I let bathe in the spotlights glare.
You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask, just like a
greasepaint mask...
