At the end of /help/user/install.htm there is a section: ==================== Complicated Installations More complicated installations, for example installation in a shared, read-only directory, for use by multiple users are possible, and require both system admin and J programming knowledge. The profile.ijs has to be modified so that standard J user directories such as user and temp are properly set. For example, the following changes to profile.ijs would give each user their own temp and user directories in their ~/J directory: USER_j_=: (2!:5'HOME'),'/J' TEMP_j_=: USER_j_ ===================== This certainly seems to indicate that it is possible to separate the code and the user data. Others also report to have accomplished this successfully (at least for single-user installations) http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/general/2006-October/027969.html . I suppose the question is what "effective support" means? Maybe although possible it currently has undesirable side effects? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
