Only the installer cares about RECORD. The application knows it's looking for doom1.wad and it just needs to know what the $wadfiles path was - it just needs the prefix, which is all the new option writes. That is why I don't propose using record for this. We will not allow every file in the dist to be relocated relative to every other. On Sep 4, 2014 2:43 PM, "Vinay Sajip" <[email protected]> wrote:
