Active Zip Picker: a program made with RSXNTDJ that lets the user choose the most common setup (C/C++, Allegro, and RHIDE on Windows 95/98) or walks the user through a set of dialog boxes similar to the Zip Picker. It then checks for the latest versions. If betas are available, it asks: "Do you want a stable release or the latest beta that may be more or less stable?" It tells the default FTP client to download all the binaries the user picked. It then starts unzip32 (included with AZP) and installs everything to the folder the user chooses. If the user chooses /DEV/DJGPP then the program informs the user that it chose /Program Files/DJGPP instead. It then changes autoexec.bat to load the environment and the path and changes DJGPP.ENV to fix the -lstdcx bug. It then adds a shortcut to RHIDE (working directory not set) to the Start menu and associates RHIDE with .c, .cpp, and .gpr files. Think it would be cool? Could somebody code this up? Advantages: No WinZip problems. No missing files. Environment is set correctly. No more -lstdcx bug. -- Damian Yerrick CM 398, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 5500 Wabash Ave | Terre Haute, IN 47803 http://come.to/yerrick <- redpinocchio http://yerricde.tripod.com/ <- pinocchio's brother
