So, this is version 1.0.11 of the new SiEGE installer.
All so far planned functions work fine, so feel free to use it for anything.

Current Version's notes:

Fixed a few bugs and missing error handlers. Installer will no longer fail to find the rar sequence when setting the target dir to another drive than the current.

Implemented Pizza Delivery Feature (Thanks to mad for that glorious idea)...try finding it :)

Implemented some credits

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.0.10 notes:

Fixed a major bug: when CRC Check was on, then the setup/patch/keygen settings were ignored. 
sorry for this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I included an automatic file search in case the rar sequence doesn't begin with .rar. it now searches for .r00 and .r01 files.

2. Diskspace-Check ain't ready yet, coz GKiller is experiencing problems using the unrar.dll stuff within vc6...
3. A new preferences menu item and dialog were added. in that dialog u tell the installer to perform the crc check, and execute the application's setup (only setup.exe at the moment), or a patch or keygen <-this is called batch feature

3.1. NOTES ON THE 'BATCH FEATURE'
	a) the executables must be located in the target directory at the moment (very useful for 'fire and forget'-cracks.)
	b) the executables must be strictly named as follows:
		Keygenerators are named keygen.exe
		Patches are named patch.exe
		Install-routines of the programs must be named setup.exe (i guess i'll add a filesearch here again)

4. The interface has now the caption Siege Installer v1.1 (doh ;-> )
5. Some confirmation and other messageboxes were included.
6. The Statusbar now shows the file in the archive, which causes problems (if any)
7. Decreased file size from 900k to 600k

v1.0.9 todo list:

1. Diskspace Check
2. Info File Chooser
3. Musix (if someone really wants this... ;-)
4. Easy app-specific gfx implementation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


>from v1.0
A few notes on how to use that thing:

1. Unrar.dll and a Siege98.nfo must be in the same dir as the exe file.
2. The rar'd file sequence should begin with .rar and not .r0x...i could implement an automatic search function for .r0x files, but since all the siege releases usually begin with .rar, i left that out yet.
3. A diskspace check will be included in v1.1 (currently being coded by GKiller)
4. Please do always perform a test installation with it, because some older versions of rar or winrar seem to archive directories as a zero length file AND as directory. This prevents the installer from extracting the directories, so installation will completely fail (see the rc1 release by XF ;-/ )

And here is the feature list of the installer:

1. Multivolume RAR extraction
2. NFO listing (only for siege98.nfo files :)
3. Archive integrity verification option
4. Integrated Directory selector/creator (doh)

todo list:

1. Intelligent Diskspace check (that calculates the cluster size of the target drive and compares it to the contents of the rar archive. If many small sized files are archived and if these files are smaller than the cluster size, then it will calculate the real necessary space on the disk...thanks to GKiller for doing that :)
2. Easier implementation for the application-specific graphics (bmp file located in the exe dir which gets loaded automatically)
3. info file chooser, for choosing the nfo file(s?) AND the diz file(s).

Please tell me any suggestions or problems (leave a botnote).
Btw, please use above email adress for notifying me of any releases using that installer. I'll create
an application graphic especially for that release and implement it into the interface (like paradigm and class do normally).
