# install - install a program, script, or datafile
# This comes from X11R5.
#
# Calling this script install-sh is preferred over install.sh, to prevent
# `make' implicit rules from creating a file called install from it
# when there is no Makefile.
#
# This script is compatible with the BSD install script, but was written
# from scratch.
#


# set DOITPROG to echo to test this script

# Don't use :- since 4.3BSD and earlier shells don't like it.

# put in absolute paths if you don't have them in your path; or use env. vars.
