# This version of the script relies on the user applying the variables to the script before running the script - avoiding hardlinks and making the script easier for anyone to run.
# The script struggles with spaces in the directory names so ensure your paths don't have spaces in your path names.
# If you're struggling to run the script, the command looks something like this: "bash UpdateData.sh /tmp /home/YourNameHere/programs/pcgen". Remember you're supplying the variables yourself when you run the script.
