Robert,
Your observation is correct. BlackBox first checks "Code/" and then
"System/Code/" when loading "Code.ocf". To prevent confusion we recommend
the following procedure:
1) Move your everyday "Config.ocf" from "Code/" to "System/Code/"
2) Compile "MyProj/Mod/Config.odc" (creates "Config.ocf" in directory
"Code/")
3) Move the new Config.ocf from "Code/" to "MyProj/Code/"
4) Use Info -> Create Tool
5) Replace "System/Code/Config.ocf" with "MyProj/Code/Config.ocf =>
System/Code/Config.ocf" in the tool text
6) Link
7) Pack
Note, that step (1) is only necessary the very first time. It is essential,
that after step (3) there is no "Code.ocf" left in "Code/". BlackBox then
automatically loads "System/Code/Config.ocf" when starting up again.
Further, it should be mentioned that the output of the packer tool (Info ->
Create Tool) is merely a base to start with. As arbitrary files may be
included, the tool has no possibility to create a complete list.

Thomas Amberg,
