 Codefile.Txt
 ============
   A new concept has emerged and seen the light of day. Are you tired of
   that you have to put a unarchiving program such as ARJ/PKUNZIP/UNZIP...
   on the CD??? Well - now Installation Menu has its very own archiveformat.
   When you use CODEFILE.EXE to pack an entire directorytree into ONE big
   file - the files are not only packed with the internal smart packing
   (see Smart Packing), but the files are also encrypted so that NOONE can
   even peek into the files!

 PASSWORD
 ========
   When you use CODEFILE.EXE to pack the dir-tree you will be asked to set
   a password. This password MUST be exactly the same as the password for
   the menu (set using INI2DAT.EXE). If the passwords are not the same Menu
   cannot unpack the encrypted files.

   E.g. If you use "Hello" as CODEFILE.EXE password, you MUST use "Hello"
        as Menu password.

   NB. Password is not needed, if you don't want to have one simply press
       enter.


 Smart Packing
 =============
   I bet you are wondering - what the h*ll is smart packing??? Well its a
   new feature in Installation Menu. When you use CODEFILE.EXE to make a
   .BIN file then each file is being analyzed before it is packed. If the
   analyze is negative the file is not packed but simply stored in the
   .BIN file. This is to prevent that small files will be made larger than
   they are.

   Another feature of smart packing is that all the files are stored with
   its attributes and filetime information. When unpacking these information
   are used to make the original file with the right filetime and attributes.


 How to use
 ==========
   CODEFILE.EXE <indirectory> <binfilename> <password>

   You don't need to state any parameters, if they are missing they will
   be asked for!

   Indirectory:  The directory to store in file

                 E.g. C:\TEMP
                 Will store all files and dirs in C:\TEMP

   Binfilename:  The name of the bin file

                 E.g. DATA.BIN
                 Will make DATA.BIN and store files in it.
                 NB. The files doesn't have to be named .BIN, it can be
                     whatever you want

   Password:     Password - this MUST be the same and the Menu password!


 Keywords
 ========
   The belonging keywords in the scriptfile are:

       %CODEFILE% ("<binfile>") ["<todir>"]
       %CODEFILETHISFILE% ("<binfile>") ["<todir>"] {"<filespec>"}

   See SCRIPT.REF for more information.
