Thanks! That is very helpful. I have added a data file in my project as you suggested.
I come from the linux world, where this sort of things are done in installation script or package post-install script. I have never released an App on Mac. Is there any concept of App post install script? I just found a link through google. http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution/Introduction/Introduction.html. I will read it. Please let me know if there are other simple samples/docs on this. Thanks, -W.
