Short Description
-----------------
Setup Factory 3.1 is quite simply the easiest, most time saving,
economical way to create a professional looking installation process
for your software product, data files, graphic images or whatever else
you want to distribute!  Unlike other tools that make you use script 
languages or fill out text files or other forms, Setup Factory uses a
completely visual, "object oriented" approach.  What this means for you
is that you can point and click your way to a distribution disk set.


Features & Benefits
-------------------
Setup Factory was designed with one purpose in mind - to make a powerful
installation building utility that is easy to use.  Keep in mind that
Setup Factory actually builds your disk sets for you!  Many other
installation kits only help you build the setup.exe - Setup Factory
does it all with the click of a button!

- No script programming required.

- Simple point and click interface.

- Object oriented project approach.

- Comprehensive user's guide and tutorial.

- Control over introduction & conclusion messages.

- Choose your own custom background.  Use gradient fills, patterns,
  colors, bitmaps, header and footer text!

- Create as many icons as you want, with full control over all icon
  properties such as description, icon image, command line parameters,
  working directory etc.

- Create icons for CD-ROM based applications.

- Built-in high performance data compression.

- Automatically splits large files over multiple disks.

- CRC-32 data integrity checking ensures that your customers receive your
  software the same way it left your system.

- System configuration checking detects Windows version, color depth,
  screen resolution, mouse, math coprocessor etc.

- Lets you collect the user's name, company, serial number and up to
  six other fields of information to be used with the built-in INI
  file editor.

- Stamp a unique serial number on your disk sets and verify that the
  user enters the proper number before they can install your software.
  A great copy protection feature!

- Can handle installations of up to 999 disks with 2 gigabytes of data!

- INI file editor with powerful inline variables, gives you complete
  control over any ini file in any location!

- Full control over file placement.  Install files to Windows, System,
  the User directory or any other location.  You are in control!

- Have Setup Factory generate an uninstall program just by choosing
  an option from the menu.  Does it get any easier?

- Language modules included for English and French.

- Works great under Windows 95 and Windows NT!  

- Although Setup Factory 3.1 is a 16 bit application designed for
  Windows 3.1, it is compatible with Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51!
  However, if you want to take full advantage of all of the new features 
  in Windows 95 such as long filenames, registry editing, 32 bit data
  compression, and a host of other features, you will want to find out
  about Setup Factory 4.0 for Windows 95/NT.  Available January, 1996!

installations that are created with this evaluation version.  They are
clearly marked so that you know which screens will not appear in the
commercial package.  Also note that you may not distribute
any disk sets created with the evaluation version.
