I am rather confused by the process of creating
.exe files, especially the way Config files are
handled.

It seems desirable to have two Config files, one
for the BlackBox development environment and one
(usually smaller) one for the new .exe file.

It also seems to be desirable to keep the development
version in Code/Config, and the smaller one in
System/Code/Config. BlackBox seems to Boot from
Code/Config (if it exists), but to use System/Code/Config
otherwise. The Compiler seems to create Code/Config.

This is all ok, even if some careful file moving is called for.


The confusion comes with the Tool that creates the Packer Tool,
ie the Command Info->CreateTool.

The packing list that it creates includes all the modules
imported by the Code/Config file, and the System/Code/Config
file itself (NOT the Code/Config file itself). This seems
inconsistent, and it is not clear to me how to best use the
packer.


Can anyone clarify the situation?


Regards

Robert Campbell
