Comet.exe should be the target of your Comet shortcut. Located in the Comet executables folder on your server, it is responsible for copying all the files required for loading Comet to the user's workstation and then starting the process of running Comet. The files copied consist of .exes, .dlls, and .ddls. In addition you may specify some of your own files to be copied. The location of these files can be accessed using the $(.EXE.) alias at runtime.

To make use of this feature, you'll need to create a text file called CometUserFiles.dat in the Comet executables folder. It's records are in .ini format. There are four possible groups of files you may include:

[Optional]
[Required]
[CA Optional]
[CA Required]

Those beginning with CA are for connections to a CometAnywhere host (/Net), otherwise they work the same.

[Optional] files if present in the source folder will be updated to the target folder as determined by the timestamp of the files. If a file is not present in the source folder then any corresponding file at the target will also be deleted.

[Required] files are mandatory for Comet to run and must be present in the source folder and will be updated to the target as determined by the timestamp of the files.
