Suntan Special

What is Suntan Special?

Suntan Special installs a sequence of fixes, drivers and applications to your ArcaOS, OS/2 or eComStation computer. Suntan Special applies updates to your operating system, drivers and applications.

Each fix, driver or application is installed by running the setup program. When possible, the setup program is runs unattended mode. Instructions are provided as needed for situations when an unattended run is inappropriate. Suntan Special can reboot the system as needed and continue running when the reboot is complete.

Once you create a sequence to create the workstation or server you need, you can run it each time you need another server or workstation.

Suntan Special is written in REXX. It comes with source code, so you may change the way an application is installed to suit your needs. As new applications or new versions of existing applications become available, you may download them from the Blonde Guy website and add them to your Suntan Special installation.

Suntan Special contains no software, apart from Suntan Special itself, that cannot be freely downloaded from the internet. It includes no licenses for any software, apart from that for Suntan Special.
