If not already done please create two subdirectories in your project account. 1. [project-name.RELEASE] This is the directory to which you will copy your released code. This directory should be treated as a program MASTER. It will contain the AROMREL.DOC file that is the key to those files. It will also keep the released PAL/GAL jedec files and other hardware specific files that are required for your game. It does not need to include the PAL/GAL source files. This directory and the AROMREL.DOC file are required long before you actually release code, in order to create an accurate parts list, so if you create it now we won't have to bother you when you are trying to make field test deadlines etc. It is also a good idea to have a subdirectory in this directory to hold stable and matched versions of your program, graphics and audio before release. It is hard to debug hardware when we have mismatched rom codes. 2. [project-name.PAL] This is the directory that will contain all the source codes for PALs, GALs, hardware specific PROMS etc. Engineers and Techs: please use these directories to develop and maintain your PAL sources. This makes the files available to those that need them, and everybody knows where to go to find them. It also ensures that these sources are archived properly at project end. To make this more convenient the game engineer and technician should have full access to the [.PAL] directory by ACL (access control list). If you do not know how to set up an ACL I will be glad to help. Pat.
