How Wood Ewe...?

Here's what I wanna do:

I've got three files:

1. installer program - install.ex
2. data file         - install.dat
3. document file     - document.doc

I want to combine these into ONE file and still be able to
increment/decrement the code in the data file. This helps me keep track of
how many/where the file has been installed.

The data file would never need more than 4 bytes (uh, that's four
characters), but I'm sure allowing for 10 characters would suffice for the
immediate future (that being the next 1,000 years or so).

So, anybody know how to accomplish this? I'm thinking David Cuny's RES
program could help here, but I was never quite sure if I could open
"install.dat," modify it, then write it back... thus changing the
executable file!

Thanks in advance, guys 'n' gals!
