How many files are present in the !Boot/!System updates from NetSurf? CI 3419 has 13 in !Cache 5 in !System 78 in !Unicode so it's not beyond the wit of man to have 91 lines in an obey file, assuming you use some tool to get their leaf names (or, I suppose, a bit of perl or whatever to generate the script by the build system). > And it still copies based on the file date (which we know we > can't trust) and not the file content. Not so. See section 5.2 of the spec http://www.marutan.net/wikiref/Acorn%20Registered%20Developer%20REFERNC/RO4/API/HTML/CONFIGUR.HTM > Does anyone have any examples of use of the installer module > that I can look at, please? Both the "PlingSystem" archive and 5.22 disc image from ROOL include obey files using it. You can also programmatically start !Configure and open the respective plugin, but that might be a bit spooky to watch, Sprow.
