why I asked about 'speed'
Suppose I wrote a program like Ray Smith's Hangman.
It uses lots of little BMP's, so, creating a resource file to attach
all these ( compressed ) BMP's to an executable would:
1] make the distribution ( program ) a lot smaller !
2] save some disk space, a minor consideration,
...BUT if someone !! ( hint to all you Windoze wizards ) ever figures
out how to do something like setBitmap() from MEMORY, instead of from a
file, it would make the program 'run' a lot faster as well, even though
it would be slower to start up initially.
3] all these 'resources' would be hidden from the user, making EUPHORIA
appear even more 'magical',
...which is why I was so 'keen' to see exw.exe either compressed or
compressible ( another hint to Rob 
)
