- Product: The GO Utilities
-
- Version: 2.30 (June 1994)
-
- Copyright: (C) 1986, 1994 by Pinnacle Software
-
- Author: Timothy Campbell (Pinnacle Software)
-
- Purpose: Tools for DOS software authors, including installation programs
-
- Description: "GO" is a set of utilities for DOS software developers. The
- central utility is an installation program which enables you to
- use any compression program (e.g. PKZIP, LHA, ARJ, etc.) to save
- room on your disk. The GO package also includes utilities for
- developing effective installation oriented batch files, complete
- with mouse-sensitive menus. Another utility enables you to mass
- copy diskettes.
-
- The installation program serves to add features to the
- compression programs and simplifies use. Your instructions to
- the user are simple: "Place the diskette in the A: drive, type
- A:GO, and press Enter". Everything after that is explained
- clearly to the user. GO carries out the installation process in
- a helpful manner, asking for permission to continue if a
- directory already exists, or searching the user's hard drive for
- the compression program if you forgot to include it on the disk.
- Up to 9 program products can be placed on the installation disk.
- Multiple disk installations are supported.
