The Header File - BSD.WIH

This is the header file is a front end to my WISEINST.WIH header file.

This header is used to apply (and enforce) my organisation's standards on the built packages as well as simplifying the package generation process.

This is an extremely powerful tool which eliminates the need for using the Wise Installer wizard when creating installation packages, for more information and examples on how some packages might look have a look at "Wise Installer OLE Automation".

The header file is not documented so for that reason only a person writing a script would need to refer to the file. If interest in this facility is shown I may add documentation.

    ;    DESCRIPTION:   A BSD (Branch Systems Development) specific
    ;                   setup for how we create packages.
    ;                   It provides a "front end" for the "WISEINST.WIH"
    ;                   package.
    ;
    ;                   This header is used to customise "ANX.WIH" setup and
    ;                   could be used as a basis for other departments -
    ;                   PLEASE RENAME THE FILE FROM "BSD.WIH" FIRST!!!!
    ;
    ;                   Note that we began with a "BSD.WIH" without the
    ;                   intermediate "ANX.WIH", I am slowly spliting up the
    ;                   logic. The intention is all customisation is done here.
