5.4 Developing In Your Working Branch
In addition to those directories listed above, your Working Branch contains a Target directory. This directory contains the executable and data files comprising an emulation (or "demo") of the actual GEOS device. The Target subtree mirrors the file system layout of the actual device.
Network installations can make use of shared geode libraries if desired. When geodes are invoked during emulation, the current working (target) directory tree will be searched first, followed by trees specified by the top keyword under [paths] in your .ini file. For example, all of the geodes under the system subdirectory could be stored in a central, shared location in order to save disk space or allow easy updates. You can supersede shared geodes in your demo by putting custom versions (of the same name) in your private system subdirectory.
Each target directory has a
geos{ec}.ini
file. It can refer to files of standard
.ini
settings under its
[paths]
category; it also contains superseding information necessary for running NT GEOS. When editing
.ini
files, take care to end each line with a
CR-LF
pair or use an editor (such as DOS
edit
) that does so transparently. More information on
.ini
files in general is found in the Tools book.
