Alm01Gather

Alm01Gather reads a list of modules, reads the IMPORT list of those modules, and continues until there are no more unexamined source files. It has been around for about 25 years. It is a comfortable subsystem for me to try out an idea regarding subsystem releases. I have placed it on GitHub at git@...

Re: generalizing /USE to a sequence of directories

Has anybody ever considered the generalization of BlackBox's two-step file lookup strategy (1st: /USE dir, 2nd; startup dir) to an arbitrary sequence of lookups (1st: /USE dir1, 2nd: /USE dir2, 3rd: /USE dir3, ... nth: startup dir)? I have frequently thought of 3 sets of directories, 1) the officia...

Re: Server configuration 'Home' path

I went and read your original post more closely, and I wonder, does the top level of your drive D: contain some directories with the names Docu, System, Host, Dev? That is, do D:\Docu, D:\System, D:\Host, D:\Dev exist? Alternately, can you set things up so that BlackBoxServer.exe is in the directory...
