NOTE this does NOT setup crontab, .cshrc, startup which should be done manually after Input switches are : -install : install Fip on this machine default: yes -microfip : install MicroFip on this machine default: no -q : quiet install default: noisy! do NOT show mkdir of all the folders -f : name of hostname for licence default: `hostname` -H : IP address of host for licence default: `hostname` -j : (Win2k only) drive letter tp place /fip default:prompts for drive An additional option -j0 will use the current drive -v : show version number and exit default: no Version Control ;001f14 19aug97 more on install - fiplick ;a 26feb98 WINNT better ;b/c 1mar99 cleanup ;d 05oct05 cleanup ;e 10aug06 -q back in ;f1-5 06dec09 multiple addresses for licence ; 27sep11 6-10 micro-fip ;1112 minor ;000a 7Jun95 Chris original version (copyright) 2017 and previous years FingerPost Ltd.
