Hi there! , Every thing ok? I hope So...

Well the Cuestion is simply , How to code a Installer for our project in Amos?

Any help will be many apreciated.


Ok we have A game for example ready to share right.. and we want to create a EXE where all the stuff copy automatically to DH0:

we have for example

<Folder>(game container)
<GFX>
<SND>
root folder
EXE, readme etc...

I think this also can do with Arexx but in Amos wil be great...

What's wrong with writing a shell script?

If you really must do it in AMOS, have a look at Install.AMOS on disk 1 of the AMOS Pro distribution.  That uses its own file copy code using a 64Kb bank as a buffer.  It may have a few other ideas you can use too.  Ignore the bank of machine code in the program.  It's only used for reading tracks on the install floppy to get the user name and registration number.  Nothing to do with the file copy routine.  :)
