OK, here's the deal - I want to use custom bitmaps and Images in my AREXX programs so I can make beautiful custom gadgets to use with rexxarplib and such. Is there a nice way to do it? - store the binaries in a separate, indexed file. This is icky because it means the program will require more than one file. - store the binaries in text form (0xa7fb) in the AREXX source. Big waste of space! - store the binaries in the resource fork. Drat! What do you suggest? -ranjit "Trespassers w" ranjit@eniac.seas.upenn.edu mailrus!eecae!netnews!eniac!...

Is there a nice way to do it? No. This is why AREXX is not a general solution to the IPC problem. It does cover about 90% of the bases, though. The best solution is a seperate file... pass the name around. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' ...texbell!sugar!peter, or peter@sugar.hackercorp.com 'U`
