SAMEDIR This package advises MAKEFILE so that you can't inadvertently write out a file onto a directory other than the one it came from (or at least might have come from). If you do a MAKEFILE and you are connected to a directory other than one which occurs in one of the names on the FILEDATES property of the file, and the file has a FILEDATES property at all (i.e. this isn't a brand new file), the system will prompt you: You are connected to where there is no TORTOISE -- should I write it out anyway ? Your options are Y (do the MAKEFILE), N (do an ERROR!), or E (go into a lower Exec so you can do a CONNECT, and try again). Default to the ASKUSER is Y (do the MAKEFILE). (C response possible to askuser; MIGRATIONS is ALIST of (olddir . newdir) of allowable movements).
