This is for VB6 ..

is it possible to open a file as binary, read it into a string, then open more files as such, and add them all to a single string and write to single exe ... then if I want to extract them, somehow pull them all out and back again as the exe's they once were . .. i mean can you do simple things like write FILE_1_START, FILE_1_END .. etc .. grab the stuff in between ..? I know how to read files, etc etc .. just want to know if this is possible ..

Im not worried about compression, just want to sqeeze a couple small files into 1 file for something like a patch file. I know I can simply try it and see .. but wondering if anyone else has done/tried this yet ..

thanks
