Developer’s Guide (Mac OS)

5-6 FileMaker Pro SDK Developer’s Guide
Workgroups 3.11:
They’ll need to install the TCP/IP-32 (version 3.11b) software, available
from Microsoft. You also need to distribute the FMTCP32.NET file
inside the FileMaker System folder.
Choosing the distribution method
After you have chosen the files that comprise your solution and
determined where the files will go, you need to decide how your
end-users will install them. If you plan to distribute your bundled
solution on floppy disks, you will need to either use a compression
utility or a custom installation application to compress and store the
runtime application, your bound solution files and additional files on
several disks. You can also distribute your bundled solution on a
CD-ROM or other medium, such as optical discs or cartridge drives.
Compressing your solution
Because the runtime application does not fit on one floppy disk, you’ll
use a compression utility to store the runtime application over several
disks. To compress files, use a utility such as:
1 StuffIt Deluxe by Aladdin Systems (for the Macintosh)
1 DiskDoubler by Symantec Corporation (for the Macintosh)
1 PKZip by PKWARE (for Windows)
Creating a custom installation
To both compress the bundled solution files and determine where they
are installed on your end-user’s hard disk, use a custom installer
program such as:
1 Apple Installer (for the Macintosh)
1 StuffIt InstallerMaker by Aladdin Systems (for the Macintosh)
1 Developer VISE by MindVision (for the Macintosh)
1 Wise Installation System by Great Lakes Business Solutions
(for Windows)
1 WINstall by Dovcom (for Windows)
1 Doughboy Professional Install by NeoPoint Technologies
(for Windows)
