Back then - and maybe still now, I wouldn’t know - Windows was able to bind assorted resources into the same file as an executable. At one point in ancient history VisualWorks could do that as a distribution mechanism. <br> <br>For RISC OS you just need to save a normal file inside the !appdir, for OS X I’m guessing you can save a normal file inside the bundle, for Windows… no idea, for *nix there are probably 700 different ways with 7000 opinions published as to why each one is stupid, or brilliant. <br> <br>tim <br>-- <br>tim Rowledge; <a subj="" mailid="tim%40rowledge.org" href="mailto:tim@rowledge.org" target="_blank">tim@rowledge.org</a>; <a href="http://www.rowledge.org/tim" target="_blank">http://www.rowledge.org/tim</a> <br>"How many Kzin does it take to change a lightbulb?"
