   I think it would be useful to provide custom paths for things such as:   
      
    + Logs (activity.*, *.log)   
    + WCX (*.wcx)   
      
   The following suggestion would require sysops to rewrite/modify batch files;   
   however for those of us who would like to clean up our installation   
   directory much easier, maybe offering a way to set these paths if we wish to   
   use them for seperate directories; otherwise default them to the standard   
   \wc5 directory.   
      
    + Executables (*.exe, *.hlp, *.cnt, *.chm) put in \wc5\bin   
    + Library Files (*.dll) put in \wc5\lib   
      
   I'm not sure what Hector's plans are for the wcLISTSERVE data files when the   
   wcLISTSERVE is moved to using an ODBC type connection instead of using the   
   current data file format.  Maybe the wcLISTSERVE data files and mailing list   
   files could be moved from the \wc5 directory to either \wc5\config or   
   \wc5\data along with the other data/config files for Wildcat!  (same could   
   be applied to wcnews configuration too being moved to \wc5\config) ...   
      
   I'm just used to having an application folder that really don't contain much   
   of anything and all parts of a program are seperated into their component   
   type directories (binary files in \bin, library files in \lib, etc); however   
   making such a change like this would potentially mean a large architectural   
   change to Wildcat! which isn't all too important at the moment based on some   
   of the other things I'd like to see available (such as multi-web virtual   
   domain support and other HTTP/1.1 compatible functionality).   
      
   But I'm sure that over time Hector's going to continue to move us in the   
   right direction in order to keep Wildcat! on top :-)
