I recently installed rhide15b after uninstalling rhide1478b with
the following batch file (note - using 4dos, intended to be run
only from \djgpp):

[1] c:\djgpp\info>type ..\uinstall.btm
@echo off
if '..' == '.%1.' goto help
if '..' == '.%2.' goto list
for %ff in (@manifest\%1.mft) do %2& %ff
goto done

:list
echo Listing of files in manifest
for %ff in (@manifest\%1.mft) do echo %ff
goto done

:help
echo Usage: uinstall pkgname disposition_command
echo where pkgname appears in .\manifest as "pkgname.mft"
echo if disposition_command omitted show files affected
echo       (usually "rm -f")
echo .
echo Possible choices for pkgname:
dir manifest\*.mft /wkm

:done

1st question - for some reason use of "del /q" for the action
parameter(s) above doesn't work.  This is probably a 4dos
question, but maybe somebody knows the answer.

2nd question - I then unzipped the file
rhide15b-20020829-prerelease.zip, which put the info files into
\djgpp\share\info.  Previously I believe they had been in
\djgpp\info.  info rhide no longer accesses them.  install-info
doesn't seem to do anything either.  rhide seems to function,
except it can't access help.

Should the infopath setting under [info] in djgpp.env be
modified?  I keep seeing dire warnings about modifying djgpp.env.

3rd question - Does anyone see problems with the above uinstall
batch file?  I am not using pakke because I don't understand what
it is doing.  I do understand deleting and unzipping files.
