1. What's new?
--------------
Or, what's different from 4.0?

InstallShield Light is designed to be as small as possible. We have left out
multiple-alternative-support, but included information viewer, different arc-
hive support and SETUP-run.
This is first version of JIS Light, so there is no history, except history for
version 3.1, that was used as base for JIS Light. Changes from version 3.1:

+ Added different archive support, supports now other archive types as ARJ,
  RAR, LHA... Definition files for ZIP, ARJ, RAR, LHA and ZOO are included.
  However, PkZip is still default type for archives, so basic users can just
  ignore these things.
+ In-built information viewer with scrolling up and down.
+ SETUP-run. You can run a special command after installation (such as SETUP
  or the program itself.)

2. How to use InstallShield
---------------------------
Using JIS Creator L is as easy as using JIS Wizard.

Before using Cretor, you must create a Archive Plug-In for at least PkZip, or
any another zip extractor. Read PLUGIN.TXT for more details how to do this.

How to use Creator:

Step 1: Run JIS Creator typing CREATE.

Step 2: First you'll be asked for the name of the program. Just type it and
        press ENTER.

Step 3: Second, you will be asked for Default Drive, just like in JIS Wizard.

Step 4: After this, Creator will ask the Default Path for installation.

Step 5: Now Creator will ask the name of Package. THIS IS NEW: If you enter
        a filename with extension, Creator will search for package Plug-Ins
        for this extension. If it founds a Plug-In with same extension, it
        will use the corresponding Archive type. Otherwise, or if you don't
        enter an extension, it will use ZIP.

Step 6: Now you will be asked if you want to use a information file.
        Information file name is INFO.TXT. Remember to include this file if
        you use information.

Step 7: If you want to run SETUP or other program after Installation, type the
        name of the program to the next question.

Step 8: Now press Y to confirm or N to edit installation data.

Step 9: Now Creator will make INSTALL.DAT containing all this information.
        NOTE: Light version will always make a Installation disk, it will not
        ask for anything, like JIS 4.0.
        Installation disk contains INSTALL.DAT, INSTALL.EXE and Unpacker for
        archive.
