mapping document dependencies

[vlier]

hello,
i have a selection program that i am trying to distribute over the internet in the form of active documents. The program relies on a program written in turbo pascal for some of its calculations. the problem is that the pascal program has a dependency on a small "time bomb" file. All the doc....vbd's work properly, and the pascal program fires but it does not find the "time bomb" file, then it fails. I have played with the inf file, attempting to place the pascal program and its time bomb in the same folder on the users machine, but when it runs it fails, saying that it can't find the time bomb.


After it failed i checked to see if everything went to where i specified in the inf. (windows\system) The pascal program is there with the time bomb, and runs fine when fired on it's own, so where is ie running the program, and is there some way i can state the dependency of the pascal and its bomb in my inf.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

the package runs fine on the developer's machine when opened in explorer (offline) but fails at the same point where it references the time bomb. I've been searching msdn for weeks, the only thing that seams related are osd files, which i may be able to use in mapping such a dependency. But i have not found any documentation on how to create the file, what type of syntax to use, how to reference it in case of deployment or how to add it to my cab file.

once again, thank you for your help
