Right... it's much better to drop them in ~/.obscurename/gibberish. No, wait, I have a better idea. Let's make the first version put the files in ~/.application, then the next in ~/.dt/application with extra files in ~/AppDefaults, then in the next version we'll add stuff in ~/.ttdb and edit ~/.XDefaults and screw it up by forgetting that http:// needs to be quoted because XDefaults gets parsed by cpp and cpp thinks // is a comment delimiter... Irritating as it may be, it's less hateful than the alternative.There's stuff above here
