Hi. My previous discussion about attaching arbitrary stuff in prc can be helpful. You compile the first basic level in. In pilrc it is like this:
DATA "JUNK" ID 1111 "basic_lev.pdb". When first installed, your app can read the record that is attached as a resource record and write it out as a standalone pdb. If it is too big you may have to split it...but it should allow you to give only one file for user to install.
