I think it's a good idea to look in the current directory first, or
having CX look for an environment variable such as CX_HOME for updated
CTY and MASTER files, also sect.dat, default configuration, etc to keep
config and log files seperate.
So, assuming the floppy is mounted at /floppy and assuming (for the sake
of discussion) that the CX files are in /floppy/cx and the contest log
will be in /floppy/iaru-2002, then CX_HOME could be set as follows:
export CX_HOME=/floppy/cx
Our contester would start cx from /floppy/iaru-2002 and whatever files
are not found in /floppy/cx would default to those found in /usr/share/cx
Pros, cons?
