Re: Alternate config files

Brian,

"If the name of a configuration file given in a CONFIGFILE command 
doesn't include a directory, it will be looked for wherever analog 
expects to find its configuration files. (This location is a 
compile-time option.) For example, in the Windows version it would be in 
the same folder as the analog executable. This applies to the default 
and mandatory configuration files as well. But configuration files given 
with +g (***are relative to the current directory at the time you run 
the program***). "

Perhaps absolute paths are therefore not supported? Assuming you are in 
Linux I suggest you try using the dot dot notation for the parent 
directory. For example:

analog +G -g../lib_analog_config/alt_config.cfg

assuming you have run the executable from 
/usr/local/analog-6.03/lib_analog_config/

If you run it from ./analog-6.03/

on the other hand then you would only need to use 
-g/lib_analog_config/alt_config.cfg

Regards
