 Good $TimeOfDayInYourGeographicalLocation everyone.
 
 i want to iclude a text file with the rpm/source package of my program. 
 this text file is not created by my application its self, however is 
 essential for it"s functioning. How would i go about including this file 
 with the install packages so that this file is installed at installation??
 
 thanks for any help anyone can offer

 Maybe include it in the project directory.
 It should be part of the project if it is
 add in the "Data" folder of the project.
 
 If this does not work you found a bug I"m afraid.

then iam afraid i have found a bug. i did:

rite click on Data in Project window and chose new...text file.......in 
the dialog that comes up i chose the existing tab, browsed to the 
directory containig the file and in the file field i typed in the name 
of my text file (in this case: viruslist), i then compiled and made an 
executable. then created a mandrake rpm installation package. when i 
opened this rpm with kpackage, my text file was not included....i will 
try again and make sure, but as far as i know it will not include the 
text file.....unless someone can prove otherwise....

thanks.
