Hi Wally,

Daniel's explanation is good; only one thing I'd like to add: the easiest=

thing to do is to make a self extracting ZIP file. Read the documentation=

how to do that. First you compress one or more files (data, programs,
whatever) into a file with the extension .zip. Then you make it into an
=2EEXE using some switch on the command line of your program. The recipie=
nt
doesn't have to use any unpacking program, as the unpacking information a=
nd
program are incorporated!

Hope this helps
