>Description:
	The install command appears to always return (exit with) the value 1,
    regardless of success or an error occuring.  Man page says it exits with
    0 on success, >0 if an error occurs -- and such behavior is standard for
    command line programs.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Run install successfully.  Check exit value.  Run install install
    unsuccessfully.  Check exit value.
>Fix:

	No general work around possible.  Alternatives to installing and checking
    success vary depending on situation, but are generally available although
    problemmatic.
