- Well, if you use compression-archivers such as zip on the whole thing, in
- the right way, you can shrink 700K worth of client and library files into a
- little over 200K, then use a shell script to open the whole thing into
- /tmp, or some other 'temperary' directory where space isn't a problem, if
- your system has such a thing.
-
- I recomend shar-irng all the help and script files, then zipping the shar
- file and the rest of the files together, using the highest compression you
- can get.
-
- I'm sure you can figure out how to write the shell script to explode all
- that into usable form, so I won't bother posting my script, unless people
- are interested in my example.
