We're looking for a "few" developers that would like to try a
self-extracting installer. If your needs are basic and this looks like
something that would be useful to your situation, please let us know. We
will only let a few of these out for now so this will not be a widespread
test.

The setup tool will:

- Select files to archive
- Set the archive name
- Set destination directory
- Toggle - use installer
- Toggle - make self-extracting
- Select bitmap for splash screen
- Personalize the installer
- Setup unlimited object strings
- Toggle dll & help path windows

The installer is based on the same installer used for WarpZip. It leads
your user through the installation page by page. Dare I say "Wizard style" 
It installs your app and cleans up back to it's original file. It will:

- Slide your bitmap into the splash screen
- Personalize a few spots in the text
- Allow users to set the install directory
- Create the install directory if needed
- Allow users to select an existing dll directory or modify the LIBPATH -
Allow users to select an existing help directory or modify SET HELP -
Backup config.sys if needed
- Skip dll & help pages if you don't need them
- Create unlimited objects
- Write a log file of the install
- Write an Uninstall script specific to the installation

It will not:
(I can do these things but just haven't yet)

- Create directories more than one deep
- Package archives with subdirectories



If these are not limitations that concern you then let us know. We will be
selecting only a few people to work with it for now. If you are a freeware
author please do let us know. We are very much interested in your feedback
too.

We do have, what I would consider to be, a pretty novel idea on how this
thing will be made available when it is ready.
