Yes, I am rude.

That protocol is a load of shit. It tries to justify some intollerent geek's rudeness. Simply ignore the question if you dont want to answer it.
I wonder if these geeks are as rude in real life away from the comfort zones of theyre computers?
First off, the answer to your cfg.dat question:
Ucon64 uses a plain-text configuration file, usually either ucon64.cfg or .ucon64rc. Use Windows Notepad or your favorite text editor to modify this file. Complete instructions are found in the product documentation (the FAQ). I have never encountered a cfg.dat file in ucon64 (which, by the way, I've used for a while with my Flash Advance Linker and to fiddle with my NES ROMs).
<b>Edit:</b> In my frustration, I failed to completely answer your question. Ucon64 places its configuration file in your home directory (or, in the case of Windows XP, your HOMEPATH variable). You can see where it is located by running "ucon64 -version" at the command prompt. They also have a mailing list you can get to by visiting their Sourceforge.net <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/ucon64/">project page</a>. <b>End Edit</b>
To answer your other question:
Yes, I am this rude in real life. I am root. I show no mercy to my users. If they ask a stupid question then they'll get a quick LART and an RTFM response. Even management gets that.
The protocol set forth by Eric S. Raymond is far from bullshit. It works. When people ask questions <b>after</b> having exhausted other resources available to them and showing that in their posts then we geeks tend to want to respond. Otherwise, we're just repeating what has been said oh so many times before. We hate repeating ourselves.
You say the protocol is "bullshit" because you're too lazy to read it and follow the guidelines. I know your type. You just want the quick answer. When I asked my first question on this board I was sure to Google search. I came up with some reasonable results, but they were not sufficiently conclusive.
Also, I did say "Please try..." and not "RTFM, luser!!!!". How is that rude? I asked you nicely to not waste our time. Would you like me to put it that way?
Search Google, search the newsgroups, read the documentation BEFORE WASTING OUR TIME!
Is that better?
