Question regarding sPath

Hi my mod is zipped so when I would like to make changes to any of my API's I have to rezip the whole mod again and reload the server.

In the startup file I've found the following:

if turtle then
        sPath = sPath..":/rom/programs/turtle"
else

What I would like to do is to add a folder to sPath which is located outside the zip folder. However /rom/ seems to be in the root folder of this virtual file system. How do I get above this?

You can't. Not without using a peripheral or something to mount up a directory it wouldn't usually be looking at.

While this is definitely a bad idea, you can use soft symbolic links if you use the unzipped method of installing ComputerCraft to achieve the same effect.
