How do I include a .wav or a big Bitmap or the like in the compiled .exe
file ?

Peter,

Create a plain text file with the extension .RC (for this discussion,
we'll call it MYRES.RC).

In the text file, add a line for each of the resources you want
included, in the format RESOURCENAME  RESOURCETYPE  FILENAME:

MYWAV WAV MySoundFile.Wav
MYBMP BMP MyBitmapFile.Bmp

Make sure the resourcename is all upper-case.

From the command line (DOS prompt), run the Borland Resource
compiler (BRCC.EXE for Delphi 1, BRCC32 for Delphi 2/3). It's
located in your Delphi\Bin directory:

BRCC32 MYRES.RC

This creates MYRES.RES in the current directory.

Then add {$R MYRES.RES} to a single unit in your project (probably
best in the main form). If you add this to more than one file,
you'll get 'Duplicate Resource' errors.

Now you have the resources in your EXE as soon as you build or
run your EXE.

Hi Peter!
Of course, the solution from Ken worx, but you can use also this thing:
if you wanna extract ANY file during session, you can just append it to the
end of your compiled exe, and then, append longint value, representing the
length of your appended file. Then, while working, your exe will extract
last four bytes from exe, then
seek(MainEXE,FilesSize(MainEXE)-SizeValue-SizeOf(SizeValue) and blockwrite
it to another file. Then truncate last four bytes (length) in the new file.
Maybe it is a bit complicated, but it works fine in my application (I
extract DLL from main EXE during working session as I want my application to
contain only one file).
