    are there any ways to merge exe files
    for example i have a program that displays a welcome screen
    and another that displays the credits and instead of two programs, i want it to become one

    i already lost the source code and is left with the exe
    can anybody help?

    Well if you've lost the source code to only one of them
    then you can simply Shell to the other one to run it.
    However, if you've lost the source code to both then, no,
    they can't be combined. You can, however, do many things to
    overcome this, here are just a few:
    A) Write a third app to link the two by Shelling to them
    when necessary.

    B) Write a script (or batch) to run them.

    C) Rewrite them, if you could do it once I'm sure it will
    all come back to you, this time you could even make them
    ActiveX controls so this won't happen again.

    Hope this helps.
