I know the new Installer by Amiga Technologies, and so I think,
Retire is not absolutely required for the future of Amiga. But
I needed something to check the Aminet upload via the German Telekom
(it's my first trial) and the old version of Retire was still in
the net. Here is a newer one. (19-may-96)
RETIRE - a shell command to remove entries from user-startup.

Retire is a simple way to remove entries of applications from the
S:User-Startup file without using the installer.
It is useful in shell scripts for uninstalling of applications.
The syntax is
retire <application_name> [<application_name_2> ...]
Retire searchs for the standard installer type entries:
;BEGIN <application_name>
...
;END <application_name>
If found, Retire removes the lines from BEGIN to END of the application
entry.
If the next END does not match the BEGIN (different application name),
an error message tells you the problem and nothing will be removed.
Application names containing spaces must be written in quotes.
Retire is in the Public Domain, so you can do with it what you want.
Detailed information how Retire works you will find in the source code.
