Re: in or out IDE

[Denis Crowther <denisc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're probably right.

A large percentage of my software generates report files by amalgamating 
data collected from various places. I don't have access to those places 
from here so they're sent to me and I store them in a folder under the 
dev folder. The enormous number of files I create developing/testing the 
reports go in another folder also under the dev folder.

Zero chance of me cluttering up ~/home with either of these.

In the old days I looked for a file called DevMode in the current folder 
to trigger the above, I should probably go back to that so clients get 
exactly the same program.

Denis
