Since my programming skills in C, C++, Visual C++, Perl, among a few others are very rusty or lousey; I have to ask this question. I have written a few programs here and about for several cases or purposes. There is however one project that I decided to write, an installer based program. This is however not written in C, C++ among the others mentioned above. Instead, I decided to write this in a scripting language, SH for Linux and Unix based machines. There is a reason for this, since it don't seem like there are many applications that allow one to easily install software, or at least with ease to install ones software. The question basically is, would any one be interested in helping out with the development, mostly to advance the porgram further? Check out; http://SetupLizard.sourceforge.net/ and contact me in e-mail if you want to become part of the development. I am mostly aiming at C, Perl, and maybe other languages if they become part of it. However, I can not guarantee that I will be able to keep up with the advancement later. There is one feature I want to implement with SetupLizard sofar, but no more than trouble with it. I am trying to figure out where and how to implement 'file' checking. To terminate if the SETUP file does not exist, or to continue if it does. Yes, I know that SH is very limited like any other shell, but it is more powerful then Microsoft's DOS. (grin) Sorry if this may be an off-topic post, but I figured that there is some sort of question for programming related some where in the material afterwards.
