JVERSION needs to be updated. It currently reports a scheme that is no longer supported. The new JVERSION will report just 9!:14'' and possibly some JAL information s(such as Library 6.2.4). - Original Message - From: Sherlock, Ric [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Beta forum beta@jsoftware.com

[Jbeta] j602 user, temp, and config files

2007-11-04 Thread Eric Iverson
I believe the current j602bbeta addresses your concerns. On any platform you can easily install j602 anywhere you want. Or move the J directory anywhere you want at any time. Each user gets their own j602-user folder in their HOME directory for user, temp, and config files. All platforms

Re: [Jbeta] j602bbeta

2007-11-04 Thread Eric Iverson
My guess is some folder permission needs to get set when j602.app is dropped in /Applications so that non-admin users can run it. When this is figured out, the steps will be added to install.txt as it won't be automated. Unless I hear stronger arguments, default user will stay in ~/j602-user

Normally it is fine to reinstall J on itself or a previous version. It should always work, but when there have been folder structure changes such as bin it can leave old stuff lying around. This is probably only a problem in early beta stages. You could clean up as you suggest but it might be

jwd should set the current directory to the J directory (not the bin directory as you indicate). I will check and fix and thanks for the report. That jwd does this is in the spirit that launch icons in windows and mac (and in linux as well if you set one up) must set the the current working
