I'm sorry, I don't quite follow, where do I put the .db files that will

be loaded by the ioc? Do I have to put something in one of the Makefiles?

Does makeBaseApp -t ioc normally create a db folder in the top

Neither; directories such bin, db, dbd, doc, html, include, and lib will get

created at build time when make has something that needs to be installed in

the relevant directory. Note that if you do a 'make distclean' at the top

level, these directories *and their contents* will be deleted, so it is a bad

idea to add files to them manually as they might not have a very long life.

HTH,
