with visual basic there was a facility to include icons and other things with the exe file - i think it is the resource compiler? is there an equivalent for pure basic? also, what are "residents"? thanks - mike.

I think I read that a future version of PureBasic will do it, but for now you
can use the example from the URL below to include a binary file and then extract
it back to disk at runtime for reading (but probably with a performance hit if
you do it with very large files):

If you want to include Sound, Sprites and Images
in your .exe -> there are special commands to do that.
Look for CatchSound(), CatchJPEGSprite()
( and hopefully CatchImage() in v3.1+ )
