	~~There is~~ the ~~tool~~ for ~~batch compilation~~ of subsystems~~: [http://forum~~.~~blackboxframework~~.~~org/download/file.php?id=124 ypkDevTool].~~		For recompiling your sources you can use the commands ''DevCompiler.MakeList'' and ''DevCompiler.CompileSubs'', which have been introduced in release 1.7. ''MakeList'' creates a file list for a set of subsystems that can be compiled with ''Dev->Compile Module List''. ''CompileSubs'' compiles a set of subsystems directly. The special symbol + stands for all subsystems that are not part of the standard BlackBox distribution.

	~~There is bug report about an TRAP during creation~~ of ~~folders~~.
