Basedirectory - Default is ~/gCAD3D/ - gcad_dir_local
  cfg_Linux/    configfiles; eg dir.lst
  dat/          default-model-directory; symbolic-name is "Data"
  ctlg/         default-catalog-files; symbolic-name is "CATALOG"
  prg/          application-programs (CAD-script-programs); symbolic-name is "APPLI"
  tmp/          temporary used files

/usr/bin/gcad3d                        startscript
/usr/lib/gcad3d/Linux_x86_64/          binaries    - gcad_dir_bin
/usr/share/gcad3d/                     examples.gz gcad3d.desktop
/usr/share/gcad3d/icons/               icons       - gcad_dir_ico
/usr/share/doc/gcad3d/                 doc         - gcad_dir_doc


  This symbols can be set in startscript:
    gcad_dir_bin     (Def. = /usr/lib/gcad3d/Linux_x86_64/)
    gcad_dir_bas     (Def. = /usr/share/gcad3d/)
    gcad_dir_ico     (Def. = ${gcad_dir_bas}/icons/)
    gcad_dir_doc     (Def. = ${gcad_dir_bas}/doc/)
    gcad_dir_local   (Def. = ${HOME}/gCAD3D/)


If file $HOME/gCAD3D/cfg_Linux/gCAD3D.rc does not exist:
  /usr/share/gcad3d/examples.zip will be extracted,
  - this will overwrite all startup-userfiles with the original version,
  - also the user-config-files  in $HOME/gCAD3D/cfg_Linux/ !
