During packaging, you specify an application name that VA Smalltalk uses to name the startup executable and runtime image. For example, if you specify appname for the application name, you get appname.exe or, for UNIX, appname for the startup executable, appname.icx for the runtime image, and appname.ini for the initialization file.

You can distribute these files using their given names, or you can rename them to something more meaningful for your software product. For example, if your product is named Hot Utilities, you can rename the startup executable to hot.exe, the runtime image to hotutl10.icx, and the initialization file to hotutl10.ini. On Windows, the startup executable must keep the .exe file extension and the initialization file must keep the .ini file extension; the runtime image can have any name, with or without a file extension.
