My point is: I've never distributed .csoundrc and don't want to start. And 
with  there has never been the need. (That was always the 
*advantage* of  to me. One less files to keep track of; one less 
confusion to occur.)

As I said, the proposal would break all my previous distributions.

As far as I'm concerned, what we've currently got, even if it isn't ideal, 
at least we've adapted to; and it isn't broken.

If we can improve upon it, OK; but let's not "fix" it and make more work for 
people like me.

Send bugs reports to this list.
To unsubscribe, send email sympa@lists.bath.ac.uk with body "unsubscribe csound"

Let me repeat the question: Can you count on your users running the
same directory, or not? There's no reason for me to continue the
conversation if I can't get answers to straight questions.

I won't "break" your way of doing things. I just want an answer to my question.

Regards,
Mike
