Adding Files to Extra Applications
For some applications, Blonde Guy cannot distribute files because the terms of the software licesne prohibits it. For these applications, the user needs to supply extra files to complete the installation.
Most applications will prompt for the location of the missing files. For best results, store these files in the Suntan Special download directory. The location of the download directory is specified by the downloadDir setting.
How to structure FixPaks for Suntan Special
This section shows how to add required files for an extra application in Suntan Special. Extra Applications are ones where the application is included, but the actual files are not. For example, IBM and XEU restrict the distribution of FixPak XR_C005, so Blonde Guy is not able to include it in Suntan Special.
Download FixPak XR_C005 from IBM or Serenity Systems using your own userid and password. Place the files in their own directory in a location of your choice. Expand the fixpak files, keeping the directory structure intact.

The REXX program, cdi.cmd, will look for the fixpak files before prompting you for a location. It can be convenient to add the fixpak files to the application directory. Otherwise, it is recommended to organize all of your password protected downloads into a single directory tree under the Suntan Special download directory.
This is what the xr_c005 directory should look like when you are done.
