Code-name PKG.

Unbeknownst to my viewers, Igtampe DOS is currently in Version 7.0 (Luna), as a Windows Batch File. I just decided to start a more web-like approach now after its release. Since 3.0, I developed a way to launch apps from IGT and return to the main program seamlessly regarding what the User sees. Then I learned about the CALL command, felt stupid, and gave Igtampe DOS compatibility to programs that weren't designed for it in 4.0. I wish to bring this up, as I was thinking about a developer trying to create apps and then have to go through a more cumbersome approach to this, especially in versions previous to Luna where the Installation Directory was always hidden, a bug fixed in Luna. I will soon create a more automated approach to this mistake. I am calling it "Project PKG". I intend to add an App that will use a modified version of the Updater's cod to look for a folder named PKG in the root of the Installation disk for the Software. I also intend to have liberties among the guidelines of the copy process. This will all be launched from Igtampe DOS too, making it solely take on a mere command to install a program. Look out for a Beta version of  Luna (Update 1) Soon. I will also be adding some new commands in this Beta, including commands to launch the two websites (Commands WWW and BLOG), among other features. If you have something to suggest for Luna (Update 1), Suggest it in the comments. I am trying to satisfy a greater audience now that I am on the Web with this project. Keep in mind that I am restricted (For the sake of IGT being a Command Line program, which i intend to keep Single Program, like Original DOS), so I cannot make a more GUI Stile Approach. Before doing this also, I would like the user to use Igtampe DOS to know what has already been accomplished and what hasn't.
