Dear Manfred,  My apologies for the inconvenience.  It does seem like a 
pain to override the method, and maybe moreso for you in objective-c, 
though I don't know.

There are a few methods which should be overridden in InstallMgr,

getCipherKey()
isUserDisclaimerConfirmed()


The first prompts the user for an unlock key and the second to confirm a 
disclaimer (the first needs work on our end).  If you merely overload 
these methods, they will get called at an appropriate time, so 
ultimately it should make things more consistent for all frontends and 
the users.  I know it's a pain in the butt, but the beginning of 
installmgr.cpp has been changed to give a simple example you can cut and 
paste:

http://www.crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/utilities/installmgr.cpp

obviously you'll want to change those std::cout calls to a dialog box :)

Sorry again for the change.

I understand it is easier to just setUserDislaimerConfirmed(true), but 
this better assures that the frontend developers actually present 
something to the user-- or they are really going out of their way to NOT 
present something to the user if they overload this method and do 
nothing-- which would be sad.

Hope you understand.

	-Troy.
