You've panic with using a file like "bios.lua"?
Here are some ideas, how to rename the file, so that you dont need to have panic anymore...

mv bios.lua sg_api.lua
mv bios.lua shell32.lua
mv bios.lua hello.lua
mv bios.lua nope.lua
mv bios.lua trololololololol.lua

So, it doesnt matter, which filename you'r using for the "bios.lua", just execute the file, before executing sg.lua

Thank you ...

I personally wouldn't use something like this if it modifies bios.lua, as you have to edit the BIOS of every computer.

[SeaLife]

You dont have to edit it.
I just named it Bios.lua because it workes like a System Api...
This Program is a bit large and unfinished ^^

[awsmazinggenius]

I'm not sure whether that will work due to the way bios.lua is included in ComputerCraft.zip - could you please consider renaming it?

[SeaLife]

O.o it doesnt replace anything because the main CC Bios is in the ROM folder and ReadOnly...

[awsmazinggenius]

I think it's kept just outside the rom folder, but's it's hidden. Though, I guess in CC, you'd just name the file "bios" (CC files are extension-less) and it would be good.

[SeaLife]

It doesnt matter if the file ie named
.exe
.lua
.asdf
.jar

Or whatever... Everything outside of ROM doesnt affect the ROM...
Only if someone replaces some functions...

[awsmazinggenius]

Are you saying I can name the file bios (no extension), or that you can create a file called bios.lua in the root directory and have it not affect anything?

The bios.lua file doesnt affect by it self or replaces some os.* function
function... You can call the bios.lua whatever you want, you only have to execute before sg.lua


Yes, sure... You can name it "bios", "bios.lua", "bios.exe", .... ( What ever the fu** you want ;D )
