Stop *** Error code 2 Stop. *** Error code 1 Which brings up a point (was it Satoshi who was last fooling with this?) - shouldn't there be some way of dealing with this dependancy on a dir file? When's the right time to install it, if so much depends on it, or should a version be created on demand? If on demand, what goes in it and how do you guarantee consistent results? If not, when's the best time to create the prototype? It'd have to be fairly early, to prevent the above from happening. I can think of a couple of quick-fix solutions to this one, in any case, but would prefer to make the right one. ;) Comments? Jordan
