SCREEN: INSTALLING:

to not install sources, no messages related to them are expected.
That message comes from the Unzip program. I got that too, during

* No input on how to proceed/finish (pressing any random key?)
I will add a press any key message. I'll borrow the NLS string from
the CHOICE program.

I'll add a note in the docs. But this is one reason that I'd prefer to
use UzpMain() or some other internal library to unzip/install
packages. Again, if anyone can figure

yeah, people asking where the any key is, in 2011 :)

If wanting things really fancy, organise sourcecode such that:
* NLS is used (KITTEN), optionally using external language files.
Lacking that, using internal strings.
* INSTALL can be compiled without an external strings file
* INSTALL can be compiled for a certain language with an external

Hi guys,
That message comes from the Unzip program. I got that too, during
testing, but I rebuilt the zip file it was complaining about, and the
error didn't reappear. I think the problem was mixed case in the zip

Ah, now I think I know what you mean. I think that should be
Hi, sorry for replying the same thread twice...
Thanks to Bernd for the very verbose testing and pointing
out so many corner cases, impressive :-)

Hi all,
I've tagged version 4.01 of the FreeDOS Install program. This is a
completely new Install program, designed as a major improvement for
the FreeDOS 1.1 distribution.
The new Install asks the user only a few questions: if you want to
install everything, and if you want to install source
