The optional MSG block specifies a warning message for when this archive is opened. This can only be specified in the HEAD block. See the "Installation Scripts" page for an overview where this tag should be placed.

These tags are only useful if a certain archive does not contain any packages which should be installed from this archive, but are only referenced externally by another archive's install script. In this case, you can create an installation script which only contains the MSG block in the header, but no package information. WarpIN will display this message when the archive is opened by the user and then terminate without installing anything.

You can, for example, instruct the user to download the "main" archive which references this archive instead of installing this archive.

In between the <MSG> and </MSG> tags, you must specifiy the text as it should be displayed by WarpIN in a standard OS/2 message box.

After displaying the message, WarpIN will exit.

The opening <MSG> tag has no attributes.
