I know where to find the programs that come with CC, is it possible to unpack them to some place so I can edit these rather than as I do now editing them then pastebin the updates?

not certain what you mean, but if you mean you want to edit, for example, excavate, in-game, you can just copy it out of rom first…
copy rom/excavate myexcavate
this would make a copy of excavate called myexcavate in the root directory which you can edit.

No I mean is it possible to override the entire lua directory from the zip file, I only want the turtle programs at the moment but might look at other programs as well as time goes by. Would be much easier to have them in a place where they are the default rather than having to copy them to each machine.

You can extract the zip file, just make sure to rename it "ComputerCraft" without the version info. Other than that, no, only files in the mod directory appear on all computers.
