directory structure contents

[ekben]

Dear all,
I know my question rather shallow anyway hope to get the answer.
What are all these
1)C:\B7\system folder – what is the difference of all the folder in this system folder with the pathcode (py7334/dv7334)?
2)C:\B7\PY7334 folder
Spec folder – ddb, xdb file type. What these file for?
Bin32 folder – dll file type. What these file for?
Include folder – header file for what program? All kind of object that developed using C?
Source folder – all kind of program developed using C?
Object folder – all kind of C source that compiled into object?
3)When I first develop my report, the code is sitting where in local machine? Let say when my project is 21, the source of my report will be in local pathcode DV7334? What is the file type?

ekben,

I don't consider this question shallow at all. When we first installed OneWorld I wanted the same information. He are some brief answers, others will probably expand on them.

1) Th system folder is common to all environments and contains the oexplore.exe.

2) spec - OW specs reports, applications, etc.
bin - executables - eg business functions that have been compiled into DLLs.
include, source, object, are for C programs.

3) C:\B7\DV7334\spec. I hav attached a file that contains some information on spec files.

thanks peterbruce.
1) those not developed using C will sit in spec folder?
2) what object can sit in bin folder?
3) what is the difference for all these. object folder vs spec folder vs bin folder. why not all compiled object in the same folder?
thanks
