/****************************************************************************/

These are my ideas that I have come up with after doing the
installers for CyberGraphics for over 8 months....

All of the new stuff comes from the work on the installers I do for
CyberGraphX...

If you have any question or need any chages please let me know!

/********* July 13, 1995 **********/

Added 80mhz monitor def in installer and the file in modes dir.

Forced the cyber#?.libs to be copied to sys:libs NOT libs:
 Cybergfx needs these early in the boot up ... 

Added checking for multiview in sys:utilities and c: to show 
 Phase5 logo

Added NOCHIPSCREEN text and env var option.

Here is a list of things I changed or Added to the Installer:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Made 2 main sections : "First time Installation"
                       "Set/Change the Monitorfile's Defaults"

Then within the "First time Installation":
                       " CVMode  - Create & Change Screen Modes"
                       " Viewers - Picture Viewers"
                       " Drivers - For 3rd Party Programs"

When run, displays a welcome/thankyou with a Phase5 picture. (Just an Idea)

I set the Install Disk Name in a Var so that it can be changed very easy.

Set as much text inside Vars!

I would do it this way becuase you would only have to update 1 installer
for German and English , like I did for CyberGfx.

I removed all of the asking "where to copy". For the ENV VAR stuff there is
only 1 place it can go...... and for Copying the tools it might confuse the
end user....

With the Drivers I ask what ones need to be installed.. then ask where the
selected once need to go _always_ using the default path!  IE adpro_driver
default is adpro:savers2 , all defaults are set.

With the ImageFX driver I check the CPU type and copy over the correct version.

I moved _all_ the mode def files into a dir called modes (like cybergfx)
this helps installing.  Also makes the root dir of the floppy a bit cleaner.

Copy _all_ modes to the users machine, allow the user to change the setting
if the Install Disk goes bad or gets lost.

**Also the CV Install disk I have, the Monitor-35mhz was missing...
  I pulled this out of the CyberGfx archive and put it on this example disk.**

Added or created sections for setting: ALERTEMU, HIDE15BIT, HIRESCRSR, CPUP2C 

I have a tool in the CyberGfx archive that runs thru the ENV VARS that 
read what they are set to and ask if they are set ok....

Ask to reboot ... some users get click happy...
