Installer replacement: InstallerLG 1.0.2 for AROS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS
Ola 'sodero' Söder's InstallerLG is a reimplementation of the "Installer"! utility included with AmigaOS as of version 2.1. InstallerLG aims to be fully compatible with the original as described in the V44.10 documentation. Most resource limitations found in the Commodore implementation are gone, and the GUI has been replaced by a MUI / Zune based one.
In contrast to the original AmigaOS implementation, the "effect" statement is treated by InstallerLG like any other statement. This means that it is possible to change effect during the installation. The "database" function supports a new attribute, 'os', which enables
scripts to recognise the operating system without the guesswork of many multi-platform installers.
As the author goes on to write, InstallerLG is compatible with the latest installer for AmigaOS 3 and it has functions that are not available in the AmigaOS 4 installer, for example "effect", "reboot", "back", "trace", "retrace" and many more. (dr)
