I tell a lie: if you have HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH set, e.g. to u: and \ 
respectively, then Configtool will look there for a directory called 
.eCosPlatforms and read platform information from the files in this 
directory. See ecosplatforms.tar.gz in the Linux distribution (or in 
\ecos\ecc\host\tools\configtool\standalone\wxwin\setup in CVS). If the 
platform information has already been found in the registry (where it was 
installed by the eCos installer) then it won't look in .eCosPlatforms.

Obviously we need something a little more sensible in the long term...

Until the Run Tests dialog is working, this information isn't much use anyway.

Regards,

Julian
