Right! I forgot about those memo files since I really don't need them. But...

Again AFAIK (as far as I know -- sorry 'bout this earlier!), you can include most 'extraneous' files within your project for compilation into one big chunk of bytes (ala resources for Windows .EXEs).

I've personally included label files, reports, and query files, in their appropriate places in the project database, as well as icon, bitmap and bitmap mask (.MSK) files under 'Other files'. So I end up distributing only those four files I mentioned.
