[Coco] Microware C Compiler question

[Todd Wallace]

Willard, 

So there is a version that the libs path can be changed, but am I understanding correctly that the header file path is fixed in the preprocessor and no recent versions/patches change that? So I will always need to keep some files on the boot disk (/dd) ? I can list the filesizes of all the files I have. I think i got it from maltedmedia or the other ftp site.
