That's definitely a good point, and one of the reasons of my posting was to have others comment on it. So far the only thing that I have seen is one article in AmigaMail (by Mike Colligon?) that indicated how to move A-Talk Plus and DPaint to a hard disk, and promoted the use of XICON for building "install" programs. When I tried to implement such a scheme, I quickly found out that with current tools I could NOT be able to build a "fully interactive" install program. With GETLINE now I can. Any comments would be appreciated.
