Re: [XBoard-devel] Windows Installer

[Mark Ioli]

Sounds good, I'll start working on that. Another option I found in NSIS 
is that I could rename files as they are installed, so for ascii text 
files like COPYRIGHT or COPYING or NEWS I could rename them to have a 
.txt extension in Windows, so people could just double click on them to 
open as opposed to getting an "Open With" dialog when trying to open a 
file with no program association. Sound ok or leave it as is?
