.topic MainCfgDlg = 2050
 Ü Main
 ßßßßßßß

This dialog allows you to provide general information about your program.

Enter the name of your program in the field Application name. The
installation program will display this information when it is run. For 
example: 'MySoft version 2.0'.

Enter the author's name in the field Author name. For example: 'John
Smith'.

Enter your company's name in the field Company name. For example: 
'GoodSoft, Inc.'.

You may select the name you wish the installation program to display: the
author's name, the company's name or both. Use the checkboxes to indicate
your preference.

If you want the installation program to display a "README" file, you must
provide its filename in the field README file. The file can be shown Before
or After the installation. Use the checkboxes to indicate your preference.
If both Before and After are checked by mistake, the file will be shown once,
before the installation.

If you want to run another program automatically when the installation is
complete, enter its filename. This option is particularly useful when you
wish to run a conversion program or if the installation of your software
requires actions than cannot be handled by SuperInstall. Normally, you will
want to ask the user first about running this program, by marking the
appropriate checkbox (Prompt). Enter the question you want to ask the user
in the field Ask.

.topic DirCfgDlg = 2051
 Ü Directories
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

This dialog allows you to provide information about the directories required
by your program.

Enter the directory where your program will normally be installed on the
user's computer in the field Default directory. For example: 'C:\MYSOFT'.

If your program also requires subdirectories below the main directory, to
separate documentation files from data files, for instance, select the
button Subdirectories.  

See also: {Main:MainCfgDlg}
          {Requirements:ReqCfgDlg}
          {Boot file modifications:BootCfgDlg}

.topic ReqCfgDlg = 2052
 Ü Requirements
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

This dialog allows you to provide the system requirements of your program.

If your program requires a specific microprocessor class, use the CPU radio
button control to select the appropriate type. The default is 8088, which
means the program has no specific CPU requirement. Please note that more
advanced microprocessors are considered as meeting the requirement. For
instance, if you select 80286 as the requirement, then your program will 
run on computers equiped with an 80286 but also on those with an 80386, 
80486, or Pentium. It will not run on 8088-class computers.

If your program requires a specific graphics card, use the Video radio
button control to select the appropriate type. The default is No graphics
for programs that run in text mode (most DOS programs). Again, computers 
with better graphics capabilities than your selection will be able to run 
your program. For instance, if you select EGA then computers with EGA, VGA
and better graphics will run your program while CGA systems will not.

If your program has special requirements like a math coprocessor, a mouse,
a joystick or a CD-ROM, use the Various checkbox control to indicate these 
requirements. Check these items if your program absolutely requires those 
equipments to run, as opposed to merely supports them.

You may indicate your program's memory requirements in the Base (RAM), EMS
and XMS fields, expressed in Kilobytes. For example: '512'. Note that this
refers to memory available, not memory installed.

If your program requires a minimum DOS version, you should specify it in the
DOS version field, as a whole number. For example: '330' for DOS version 3.3, 
or '500' for DOS version 5.00.

If you check the box Abort if not satisfied, then the user will be informed
if his computer does not meet one or more of the system requirements of your
program (they will be listed), and the installation will abort. If you do
not check the box Abort if not satisfied, then the user will be prompted
before the installation proceeds.

Please note that if the box Abort if not satisfied is checked and INSTALL is
unable to identify the graphics adapter present in the system, the user will
be asked if he/she wants to proceed with the installation. SuperInstall can
detect and identify most graphics adapters, however.

Computers equipped with an early Pentium processor are known to occasionaly 
produce incorrect results in floating point calculations. If your program
performs intensive floating point calculations, you may want to warn users
about this potential problem. Check the box Display faulty Pentium warning 
to do so.

.topic BootCfgDlg = 2053
 Ü Boot file modifications
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

This dialog allows you to provide necessary modifications to the user's 
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

Enter the number of buffers required in the field Buffers and the number of
file handles required in the field Files. The default value is '0', which
means no special requirement.

If your program requires an environment variable to be set, enter it in the
field Environment.

If you want to add the directory where the program is installed to the PATH
statement, use the appropriate checkbox control to indicate your desire.

Normally, the user will be prompted before those changes are made to his/her
configuration. In very rare cases you may want to force those changes without
prompting, mark the appropriate checkbox. This may be useful if your 
program's market is beginners who would be confused by a question about 
changes to system files. It is often considered rude to make changes to the
configuration files without the user's authorization, so we strongly 
recommend that you use this feature judiciously.

Please note that backup copies of the user's original CONFIG.SYS and 
AUTOEXEC.BAT files will be preserved.

If you want to force the computer to reboot so that modifications to the 
system files take effect immediately, mark the box Reboot after install.
This feature is compatible with Desqview and other multitasking environments
and will flush disk buffers before proceeding, so that no work is lost.

 Ü Disk set configuration
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

Use the checkbox controls to indicate which formats will be supported.

SuperInstall will create copies of the master disks on your hard disk.
Enter the name of the subdirectory where you want to create those copies in
the field Create in directory. If this directory does not exist, it will be
created. For example: 'C:\DIST\MYSOFT'.

Warning: If there are any files in this directory, outdated distribution
sets for instance, they will be deleted.

.topic OptColCustomizeDlg = 2055
 Ü Color Customization
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

The Group list box control on the left displays all groups of user interface
elements for which you can customize the colors. The Item list box control
presents the individual items part of that group. Select the item you want
to change.

Now select the foreground and background colors you want for that item. As
soon as you make a color selection, you will see it reflected in the sample
text window.

Choose OK to make the new colors active. You will probably want to preserve
the new color selections for future work sessions. Select the menu option
{Options³Colors³Save palette:OptColSavePalette} to save the color
definitions.

.topic OptColLoadPaletteDlg = 2056
 Ü Loading a color palette
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

Select the Preview button to see what the highlighted color palette looks
like. Select the OK button to make the color palette active, or the Cancel
button to exit without changing the color palette. The active palette 
filename is saved in the configuration file SINSTALL.INI under 
[Colors] Palette and is read automatically when the program is run. If 
there is no configuration file or if the palette filename specified is 
invalid, default colors will be used instead.

.topic OptColSavePaletteDlg = 2057
 Ü Saving a color palette
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

You are prompted for a filename. You may enter any valid DOS filename,
preferably with the '.PAL' extension. The Files window offers a list of
existing color palettes so you can enter a unique name.

.topic FileOpenDlg = 2060
 Ü Opening a file
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

In the Name field, enter the name of the file you want to open. You may enter
a fully qualified filename (i.e. 'C:\SINSTALL\MYSOFT.DAT') or simply
'MYSOFT.DAT' if the file is in the current directory. To get a list of files
matching a file specification, enter the file specification in the Name field
and press Enter.

You can also select a file from the list. Press Tab to move to the Files
window, use the arrow keys to highlight the file you want to open and press
Enter. To change the current directory or navigate the subdirectories on
your disk, press Enter on the '..\' file specification and select the
subdirectory you want to make current.

.topic FileSaveAsDlg = 2061
 Ü Saving a file As
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

You are prompted for a filename. The default filename is 'UNTITLED.DAT', you
will want to enter a more descriptive name. You may enter any valid DOS
filename, preferably with the '.DAT' extension. The Files window offers a
list of existing definition files so you can enter a unique name.

.topic SubDirAddEditDlg = 2062
 Ü Adding or editing subdirectories
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

Enter the directory name in the field Subdirectory name. For example: 
'SAMPLE' if you want a subdirectory named 'C:\MYSOFT\SAMPLE'. It is important 
for the subdirectory name not to be fully qualified, as the user may override 
the default main program directory.

In some very rare cases, you may find it necessary to create directories
outside the default main directory. In that case you would provide a fully
qualified directory name. We strongly recommend that you use this feature
judiciously.

.topic SubDirBrowserDlg = 2063
 Ü Browsing subdirectories
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

Select New to add a subdirectory. After you have added a subdirectory, it
will be included in the list. You may edit entries from that list by
selecting the button Edit or erase entries by selecting the button Delete.

.topic FileSpecAddEditDlg = 2064
 Ü Adding or editing file specifications
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

You may enter filenames individually, or use wildcards like ? and/or * to
include multiple files matching a single file specification.

Normally you will leave Destination as '\' because you want to place these
files in the main directory where the program is being installed, on the
user's computer. Or enter the subdirectory name where you want the files
installed instead. For example: '\SAMPLE' to install in 'C:\MYSOFT\SAMPLE\'.

You may enter a description for this file specification, in the field
Description. Currently this is for reference only, although future versions
of SuperInstall may use this information.

Use the radio button control to indicate how you want the files being
installed to be processed. You can choose to Always overwrite files already
on the system, Prompt the user before you do so, or skip installation of
files already on the system by selecting Never. The default is to always
overwrite files already on the system.

If a file absolutely needs to be on the first disk, use the checkbox First
disk to indicate that fact. ReadMe files are an example of such files that
have to be on disk one. Those files will not be compressed, so they should
be small files and there should be very few of them.

The files INSTALL.EXE, INSTALL.DAT, as well as the color palette specified 
in the SINSTALL.INI configuration file under [Colors] Install will be 
included on disk one automatically by SuperInstall. You must NOT include
them in this list of files.

.topic FileSpecBrowserDlg = 2065
 Ü Browsing file specifications
 ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß

Select the New button to enter a file specification. After you have added a
file specification, it will be included in the list. You may edit entries
from that list by selecting the button Edit or erase entries by selecting
the button Delete.
