and manually install VASSAL. This keeps all of the parts together and

installer and updated each time VASSAL is updated.

Hi Brent,
I've been using that method on both winblow$ and Linux for
quite some time now. The heap sizes never have to be changed
for an upgrade because the command line never changes.
Pref files are still placed in hidden directories though.
I made a USB stick with VASSAL/VASL so I can play on any
computer with JAVA and it still want's to place the prefs
on the HDD rather than the stick. Is that a JAVA thing?
Thanks,
Brian
