Hi

When i include a pbi file in a pb file, and when i make an exe of my application, do i need to include the pbi file for distribution? Or is it already benn compiled in the exe file together?

Can i name the pbi file anything i want? or it has to be pbi?

You can name it however you want.
The compiler compiles the Included files, just as if the code inside these
files would be in the main source.

So you don't have to distribute them.

The pbi is compiled too. You can use any name, for example, you can include anothers .pb

Bye...

to include a sourcefile means that it's the same as if you were typing all the code right where you included it. to include files just makes life easier.

yes, you can name it the way you want. i guess ".pbi" stands for PB-include.
I call them ".pbh" in memories of c header includefiles.

Ok, I'll quit for today - I'm always the last
