This can be gotten at: http://eric_mcdonald.home.comcast.net/xconq It should be entirely self-contained, meaning that you should not need to go out and install any supporting things first. I will improve it further in the times ahead. Some of the features: (1) Can choose install path. (2) Creates a menu in the Programs menu group in the Start Menu. (3) Creates a Desktop icon for xconq.exe. (4) Has an uninstaller. (5) Can be uninstalled from Add/Remove Programs control panel. (6) Has shortcuts (in Start|Programs|Xconq) for HTML documentation. (7) xconq.exe is associated with .xcq files. Things that still need to be done: (1) Bind icons to the xconq and imfapp executables (which will also be reflected in the shortcuts). (2) Make xconq.exe run from any working directory. This will make feature #7 actually be useful. Once this is taken care of, you will be able to double-click on saved xconq games (.xcq files) and have them launch Xconq. TODO #1 should be quite easy. I will take care of it soon. TODO #2 might be easy, but I need to research it more. As always, feedback is welcome. Enjoy, Eric
