systemfolder(1)                                   systemfolder(1)



NAME
     systemfolder, systemfolder24  -  create  a  personal  System
     Folder

SYNOPSIS
     systemfolder [-f] [-u user]

     systemfolder24 [-f] [-u user]

ARGUMENTS
     -f   Forces the update of the System file.  By default, the
          System file is not updated if it already exists in the
          personal System Folder.  This convention prevents
          overwriting of personal fonts, desk accessories, and so
          on.

     -u user
          Creates a personal System Folder for the user
          designated by user. This option is generally used only
          by the system administrator.  In this case, the System
          Folder is created in the home directory of the user
          designated by user.

DESCRIPTION
     systemfolder allows you to create a personal Macintosh
     System Folder in your home directory. When you enter the
     Finder environment, this personal System Folder is used
     instead of the global System Folder, /mac/sys/System Folder.
     Files are copied (privately modifiable) and linked (shared)
     from read-only versions stored in /mac/lib/SystemFiles.  If
     a personal System Folder already exists, it is updated with
     any files from SystemFiles that are not present in the
     personal folder.

     The systemfolder24 command creates a personal System Folder
     specifically for use with 24-bit mode.

     You can install a 24-bit System Folder to allow the use of
     certain desk accessories or inits that are not 32-bit clean.
     Note that you do not need a 24-bit System Folder to run 24-
     bit applications under the Finder (24-bit).

FILES
     $HOME/System Folder
          Directory corresponding to a new System Folder
     $HOME/System Folder24
          Directory corresponding to a new System Folder for 24
          bit mode
     /mac/lib/SystemFiles/private/*
          Files that are copied into a new System Folder
     /mac/lib/SystemFiles/shared/*
