DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the makensis command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian (TM) distribution because the original program
       does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the HTML format; see below.

       makensis is a program that creates installer programs for Windows.
