Hook for module activation and deactivation

Question

I am trying to execute a function in my module when the module is activated or deactivated by the user. It seems that there is a hook for this in Drupal 7, but not in Drupal 6. It is possible to do this with a workaround in Drupal 6?

Answer 1

The docs say that hook_enable() and hook_disable() are for versions 5-7.
