Hi Chris, Your best bet is to save the files as .sit files using DropStuff, and let the end-user unpack them on his/her own machine. Even if you roll your own installer and save the resource fork into a custom property : -- set the uDataFork of btn "Foobar" to \ URL ("binfile:" & tFilePath) set the uRsrcFork of btn "Foobar" to \ URL ("resfile:" & tFilePath) -- put the uDataFork of btn "Foobar" into \ URL ("binfile:" & tFilePath) put the uRsrcFork of btn "Foobar" into \ URL ("resfile:" & tFilePath) -- This won't do the trick if your user has to run an installer app that is cut in half by WIndows, heh. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
