- Personally I'm in favour of run time code if at all possible. This has the
- advantage of not requiring recompilation or two binary versions. This could
- be made fairly transparent. E.g. for a shell if $HOME is on a Minixfs partition
- use .shellrc if GEMDOS shell.rc .
- Alternatively there is lways the possibility of binary configuration,
- this is very easy with the nlist() finction. I can post an example of how
- to do this if anyone isn't sure and it's the most compact solution.
- Steve.
