Hi Peter,

How do I go about embedding this logic in the distribution script?  Is there a way to do this from the command line (i.e., when building packages using --root instead of --doc) or do I need to create a pmdoc file and edit it there?

Thanks,
John

Your installation check logic should be written as a _javascript_
function and embedded in the distribution script.

There used to be some minimal documentation (the 10.4 installer
release note) about this online; I'm working to have it restored soon.
