I happen to have Install Shield (for Delphi) and it is really OK,
(lots of installations use it), but there is another problem.

The 'Right Way' for win95 apps is not to use batch and config
files but to use the Registry. And what where we doing this for?
Wouldn't it be easier to create sample files and instructions on
how to change them?

Is Lynx really meant for people who are afraid to edit shortcut
files? If yes, we have to think of something else.
