Steve, why shouldn't CONFIG files just be put in the programs drawer? I
don't really want them in S: or T: or D:…. I want them in the
applications drawer.
re a programs data files…. I'm a big fan of using ASSIGN to point to
program specific stuff, rather than requiring it to be in fixed locations.
Just so long as everybody doesn't use DATA: or such 🙂
The only problem I see with this is that many installation instructions end
up telling the user:
After you've run the Install program, be sure to add the line
'assign mydata: xxx' to your Startup-Sequence'.
… shoot, for many users you may as well tell them to program in
Assembly, cause they have no idea how to add those lines to their SS.
Maybe 2.0 will help, cause an install program could just put a quick batch
file in WBStartUP that does the required assigns?
