I'm not sure if that will be a solution because those config files are written
by the J library. I cannot modify the J library script because my patch will be
overwritten by next package manager update.
You may also test it by relocating the working J folder to another place
eg. from c:\j601 to c:\devon\j601

I would like to install J development system and my projects in usb-drive
and
run it for different computers as I move around. However the drive name
for
usb-drive changes and causes a difficulty. It is the absolute paths are
kept in
various files under j601/user/config such as that shown below. Will
it be
possible to make them relative to paths inside SYSTEMFOLDERS_j_ and
USERFOLDERS_j_ ? so that it becomes
STARTUP=: '~config/startup.ijs'
config.ijs:
STARTUP=: '\home\bill\j601\user\config\startup.ijs'
projects.ijs:
PROJECTLOOKIN=: 'c:\home\bill\jproject\trunk\jvb\'
PROJECTRECENT=: 0 : 0
c:\home\bill\jproject\trunk\jvb\vb5
c:\home\bill\jproject\trunk\jvb\vb6
)
recent.ijs:
RECENT=: 0 : 0
\home\bill\j601\system\main\gl2.ijs
\home\bill\j601\system\packages\graphics\vkeys.ijs
\home\bill\j601\profile.ijs
)
