+\fIdefault.action\fP, and \fIdefault.filter\fP. These are well commented.
+On Unix and Unix-like systems, these are located in \fI/etc/privoxy/\fP
by default. On Windows, OS/2 and AmigaOS, these files are in the same directory
-as the \fBJunkbuster\fP executable.

The name and number of configuration files has changed from previous versions,
and is subject to change as development progresses. In fact, the configuration
itself is changed and much more sophisticated. See the user-manual for a brief
explanation of all configuration options.
