A small program that allows the user to extract and install archived
distributions (e.g. Aminet downloads) quickly and with the minimum of
fuss.

Opens as an appicon on Workbench. The user can either drag and drop an
archive onto the icon or doubleclick it to bring up a file requester for
archive selection. After selecting a temporary path, the archive is
extracted and the resulting files are scanned for an Installer script.
If one is found, Installer is automatically loaded and installation proceeds
as normal. If no script is found the user is given the option to move the
files to a permanent location. All temporary files are deleted once the
process is over. 

Currently supports only LHA archives. If any interest is shown I can modify
the code to support other compression types.

ArcInstall is a stand alone program. It is also to appear as a function in
the forthcoming release of Formation v2.0, the recently released virtual
directory manager by the same author. Look in 'util/wb' for the current
release.

ArcInstall is Freeware. Mail me if you have any comments.
