- If it's the same problem I encountered a few weeks ago with the same package
- then I reckon it's a bug in KITINSTAL.COM.
-
- At line 402 you'll find :
- $ CALL ASK YORN "Purge files replaced by installation?" "Y"
- If you change it to :
- $ VMI$CALLBACK ASK YORN "Purge files replaced by installation?" "Y"
- then it's a goer.
-
- Why ? Well, given that
- $ VMI$CALLBACK = "CALL CALLBACK"
- this translates to
- $ CALL CALLBACK ASK YORN "Purge files replaced by installation?" "Y"
-
- DCL should be looking for a subroutine label "CALLBACK" (with P1 = ASK) but
- currently it's looking for the label "ASK", which doesn't exist.
- Well, it worked for me.
