Hi,

the folder "lib" inside the keykit directory contains the original tool files
of keykit and additional files added later.

I would like to tidy up the lib-folder and move all original keykit tool files
onto a separate folder so it would be easier for me to see what they are
doing and how they work.

Are the tool files that bear the names of the keykit tools the only thing I
have to move, or do the tool files need additional files as well?

Thx for any help and regards,
Crypto.

As long as the value of Keypath contains all the library directories, the
files can (theoretically) be anywhere. The important thing is that each
library directory contain a keylib.k file, which maps function names to the
files they are in. To regenerate the lib/keylib.k file, use
bin/resetkeylib.bat, which contains:

cd lib
../bin/lowkey ../lib/updatelib.k -c "updatelib(1)"

If you create other library directories, you might have to initially
generate keylib.k in them (using the same ../bin/lowkey invocation), though
normally keylib.k is updated automatically.
