I am making a small program and was wondering how can I compress all my
bitmap files into one .dat file like Mr. Packard did.
Also, whenever I get an attachment from this server it comes in the body of
the message. Is that just my computer or other people also having this problem.

I get them in the body sometimes too, I think it has something to do with
the way they are attached.
As for the .dat files, I open a text file up, and puts the objects line by
line into the dat file. To load them I gets the bytes back into the
appropriate objects. I'll upload a code snippet later tonite.
