I suppose you expect to see a complete, functional application here.

How about instead, some random notes.

The idea is this: I want to copy everything required for an ArgGIS project onto a CDROM and have it run there. This means the MXD file, and all the layer files, shapefiles, personal geodatabases, rasters, everything.

Furthermore, I want the MXD file to actually WORK there. No marching through the Properties dialogs changing paths.

It would be REALLY cool if I could design a map, and then burn a CD with a copy of ArcExplorer on it that could actually load up and display the map too but that might be going too far. (???) How about the Publisher extension and ArcReader? Later for that.

Let's break this thing out into some bite-sized pieces.

First I want a tool that runs from ArcMap and just lists out everything about the currently loaded project.
