I'm creating a library that I put in a folder in THINK C's folder.
The code in the library opens two files; both of them in the same
folder as the library, and it needs resources from a resource file
also in the same directory. The library refers to the files by their
names only (not full path - I want it to be independent of the volume.)
If I create a project in an arbitrary folder, and import the library,
I get an error because it can't find the two files (which are located
in the library's folder.) If I move the files and the resource file
to the folder where the project is, everything works fine.

Can anyone give me a pointer as to how I can get this to work ?
I need to have the files in a different folder from the project's folder
without having the library referring to the files using full path names.
Helllpppp !!!

Thanks for your attention.....
