If so, how so? Some time ago I posted a toolkit called RES. Among other things, you can: - Bind a large number of files into a single resource file - Bind a resource file to an executable Each file in the resource file can be read and written to just as if they were normal files. The only caveat is that you cannot make a bound resource file *larger*. This allows delivering applications that consist of many files as either a single executable, or as an executable and a resource file. The method that it uses is the same as that described by Daniel in his post, but it takes care of all the details (calculating file size, etc) for you. I think it's fairly simple to use. It's probably been moved to the archives by now. -- David Cuny
