Locating flat files

When searching for flat files (.con or .esi files), USoft Developer uses a strategy based on variables set in your Windows registry. These variables are InstallationDir, FileSearchPath and HomeDir.

NOTE: FileSearchPath is also used to retrieve USoft resource files, such as USDI and USDIW.

USoft Developer searches as follows:

1.	The InstallationDir/APP directory is searched on Windows, or installation/ app-defaults on Unix.

2.	The FileSearchPath variable in the Windows registry, variables are:

•%T : default application directory: ( 'app' )

•%N : application name

•%S : extension (.con/, .esi/ , etc)

•%I : (=uppercase i) installation directory: Windows only

•%i : home-directory: Windows only

3.	USoft searches in the HomeDir.

NOTE: The Installation Directory is given by the value of the version key. (e.g. version 9.1.1A : C:\USD91).
