-- install.html outdated? --

[pathovore]

While reading http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/HLADoc/HTMLDoc/Install.html I arrived at the following...

"... After copying the executables from the MASM32\bin directory, the next step is to copy some important library files from the MASM32\lib directory to the "c:\hla\hlalib" subdirectory. The files you need to copy are "kernel32.lib", "gdi32.lib", and "user32.lib" ... "

Now, the problem is that when I went to copy those to hlalib, I found they were already there, but a different filesize.  I had downloaded hlasetup.exe earlier today, so it's the latest installer.   I didn't overwrite the files because I figure that the install documentation is most likely outdated in relation to the most recent installer.  How the document is written denotes that the files don't exist at all in that directory.

Which also brings up another question.  Were the previous step of copying files ml.exe, ml.err, link.exe, and mspdb50.dll necessary? 

Actually, the whole document is in question at this point :)

Yes, 'some' of the documentation is a tad bit out-of-date.  For best results, simply download HIDE (the HLA IDE) from here:

I've just posted new installation documentation along with HLA v1.100.

Windows documentation can be found here:
http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/HLADoc/HTMLDoc/WinInstall.html

Linux documentation can be found here:
http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/HLADoc/HTMLDoc/LinuxInstall.html

The FreeBSD installation is identical to Linux. Just substitute "FreeBSD" for "Linux" throughout the documentation.
