It is :-).
Being curious (it does horrible things to my 'phone bill :-( ) I've
downloaded it and started to have a look.

I have couple of things for you to look at:

If there is a "\" on the end of the destination path name it gets upset,
it fails with a directory creation failure (after looking through the
install REXX its not too suprising really ). You need to strip any
trailing "\" from the destination path to make it proof against people
like me :-)

I tried to install to the directory containing the distribution files
and it had a problem... It trys to copy a couple of files to themselves:
readme.inf & pmd.ico (not too suprisingly REXX reports an error). The
install is OK though :-).

ps. I got it from a UK site that mirrors the OS/2 Shareware file areas
but is restricted access. I'll hit my 'phone bill a bit more and upload
it to some of the specialist general access OS/2 boards over here if you
want (I couldn't find it on them).
