1Distribution scripts and lists
2-----------------------------------------------------------------

4This directory (distrib\msw) contains some 4DOS batch files
5(.bat) and 'response' files (.rsp) to simplify the job of
6producing distributions. The .rsp files specify which files are
7associated with a particular module, e.g. wx200vc.rsp refers to
8the VC++ project files, wx200gen.rsp represents the generic files,
9wx200msw.rsp specifies the Windows specific files, etc.

11When making a distribution on Windows, I call zipdist.bat to prepare
12zip files with everything needed for Windows,
13GTK and Motif. zipdist then unzips some of them into
14deliver\wx, removes and adds a few files to perfect the
15distribution.
16
17zipdist then calls 'makewise.bat' to generate a new wxwin2.wse
18script, for WISE Installer. It takes wisetop.txt, wisebott.txt
19and adds the section for file installation. (If you've modified
20wxwin2.wse using WISE Installer, simply compile and run splitwise.exe
21to put back up-to-date wisetop.txt, wisebott.txt files before
22running zipdist.)
23
24Finally, zipdist runs WISE Installer using a command line
25argument to produce the setup.* files automatically.
26
27Note that although zipdist.bat produces archives for 3 platforms,
28I only use a subset of these to produce the Windows-specific
29setup.exe. I then have the option of distributing the zip files
30as well.

32You may need to install 4DOS to run these scripts. If anyone
33wishes to remove 4DOS dependency, that's fine with me.
