That sounds like an installer to me. About 6 months
ago I started writing it, called LBInstDJ, that's
install.exe on v2/ in simtelnet. It was just a quick
and dirty application with unzipper, which extracts
all zips into some directory, updates autoexec.bat and
windows registry. Of course, this is not sufficient.
Later Richard Dawe started zippo - a RPM like package 
manager for DJGPP. Then I started rewriting LBInstDJ
as front-end for zippo, this solves package management
problem. Also I am making it with Turbo Vision interface,
so it would be easy to use for beginners.

Anybody is welcome to develop LBInstDJ together ;-)
