Ints not a case of not WANTING to use InstallShield proff. which we own, its
that the guy who knew it has left...and NO ONE bothered to find out how to
use it !
I cant take te blame for that fortunitly as I was new at the time, and had
not taken over the managment rains fully...I just assumed that it was
documented....which it wasn't !
Anyway, I figure that in the time it takes to learn it, I could write our
OWN install prog.
Thats not hard, and I have dont it before, but not to install the BDE....
BUt I have noticed that there are some INI files that are int he IS dir that
have the info i want...well I HOPE that it is any way.
Cheers, Jeremy Coulter
