October 1996 - April 1997
Designed, wrote specifications, planned, wrote Patch-Installer using
Bourne-shell scripts. The Patch-Installer is an installation tool which
allows Progress customers to apply patches automatically to Progress
software products. Traditionally these patches were applied manually, a
method which had many disadvantages, including being prone to many
mistakes and unrecoverable errors.
The Patch-Installer provides the customer with a tool with which to do the Progress patches automatically, providing backups of existing patch-levels, and recovery procedures.
I also wrote the specifications for the Patch-Installer to be implemented on the Windows/Win95/WinNT platforms, which involved modifying the existing Progress Installer (written in C) to use the InstallShield product.
