[edit] Discussion
Version 2.00 can probably be considered to be the first version of InstallIt. It evolved from an earlier program named Installer (INSTLR12.ZIP), but the programs don't appear to have much in common.
[edit] Identification
Compressed files (for v2.00-2.04) have ASCII signature "CP2.00" beginning 43 bytes from the end of the file. They are observed to end with ASCII "32".
