yes, sorry...

currently i have something like this...

\freepascal\
\freepascal\binutils\      latest release of ppc386.exe and i386-win32 directory
\freepascal\fpc\
\freepascal\fpc\2.6.0\     svn sources and compiled version
\freepascal\laz\           svn sources and compiled version
\freepascal\libs\          considering this for add-on libraries
\freepascal\libs\synapse39 eg: for synapse release 39
\freepascal\libs\synapse40 eg: for synapse release 40
\freepascal\projects\      projects hierarchy directory

i know that some of these libraries have lazarus packages... i don't want to get 
them mixed up with the FPC and/or Laz sources from svn and have problems there 
if i have to wipe those directories to start all over like i've had to do in the 
past... plus i don't always use lazarus for my editor... the big thing is that i 
also copy some projects over to my OS/2 box and compile over there with fpc 
directly so everything has to be the same on both boxes as far as the directory 
layout goes...

is that better? ;)
