Borland is easy. Copy all files from your disk onto a cd-rom, it isn't really necessary to keep them in separate folders. But since CD space is cheep, you could opt to make two versions. One for the programm as a whole and the other with a directory for each disk. For install, <optional> just copy all the files from the CD-rom onto your harddisk and </optional> run the install, it's any of the exe files on the first 'disk'. You then have to tell the install where to look for the files and where to install them to. Works like a charm.
