Hey, I am new here and have only used computercraft for a few days, and I think it is an amazing mod. But I have been wondering why can't I create a program and have it usable on every computer? I know you can use a floppy disk but I dont wanna put it on there then lose it. So is there anyway I can get a program to be on all computers. Also somehow when I created a directory it created an infinite loop of folders :S. Luckily I have dropbox so I just stuck it in there lol, now its their problem XD.
Like a unviversal program?

I use notepad++ for my programming (it's incredible, it's free, and it has a setting just for Lua) so I do this often. Go to your mods folder in .minecraft, and click on ComputerCraft. Click lua, then rom, then programs, and finally computer or turtle, depending on the program. Now put your file in there.
MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE EXTENSION.
You can do this by (on windows) clicking tools, then folder options, then view, and un-checking "hide extensions for known file types"
Example: test.txt, delete .txt, and keep test. Windows will warn you about deleting the extension or some garbage, ignore it, and press "Yes." Now it's available for all computers/turtles. I recommend creating a shortcut to the programs folder, if you can.
