Data file

Is it possible to pack all the script and data files into 1 big (possibly encrypted) data file? Any resource?

Actually, yeah. Zip support is the first step to this..

Then, you can apply encryption to it. There are two resources that I know of, one from John Quigly which replaces zip support with some kind of cryptainer. The installation was tedious and I didn't get it to work, maybe you can.

Then there is another which is not endian safe, etc etc. All have their problems.
I got to the point where I just modified Pat Wilsons simple encryption code but for Zip files and DSO's. Much easier.

Thanks, i'll change the code a bit to change the extension, and then get working on some encryption. My version will be windows only.
