The installer has been uploaded as an SFX ZIP which decompresses into three files: djinst.exe, install.dat and djinst.zip. After that you should run djinst.exe which will install the sources to contrib/ subdirectory of selected dir (c:/djgpp by default). The installer makes use of bison and flex tools, so to compile it from scratch you will need these from the DJGPP 2.01 distribution. I have included compiled versions of parser and lexer for your convenience. Features of the installer include: * Nice windowed UI * Simple script language * Internal (fast) support for ZIP decompression * Display of formatted (actually colored) text during and after the installation * full progress report The installer has been compiled and tested under the following systems: * Caldera OpenDOS * M$-DOG 6.xx * M$-DOG 7.00 (Win95 w/o GUI) * Win95 DOS Box I was unable to test it under DOSEMU with Linux but I suspect it *might not* work in that environment! I will appreciate any feedback and comments as well as all bug reports. Thanks!
