/r:<dir>
Use <dir> as root dir for Xbase++ installation for the following version check.
XppLoad /r:d:\xppw32
will search for Xbase++ runtime and executable files starting in D:\XPPW32 and subdirectories. Only one subdirectory level will be processed, e.g. D:\XPPW32\LIB, but not D:\XPPW32\LIB\MYLIBS. The default value for the root dir is determined by running Xpp.exe for the BIN directory and by loading XppNat.dll for the LIB directory. It is usually the first entry found in the PATH environment variable pointing to an Xbase++ installation.
