	Rory, The standalone executable included csound.exe and the .csd. All other files, including stdopcod.dll and the other .dll's, were separate.

	In that case it should be relatively straight forward to create a standalone in the same vein. I can have Cabbage look to open by default any csd file that shares the same name as the executable. Users would use the main Cabbage host to create their instruments, and when they are ready to distribute them they simply make a copy of the Cabbage exe, rename it to whatever they like and make sure that a .csd file of the same name is in the same working directory. Would that suffice? As far as I recall, you always had to do some packaging, even with the old Lettuce stuff?
