EXE Compiler - Readme
.: Introduction
This code sample demonstrates how to create your own exe files.
Not a direct approach. The program writes to the end of an existing
exe file. The exe file can then access this data and work with it.
The compiled exe does not require any extra files for working
(except the vb runtimes, of course!)
.: In more detail... :.
prjRdfce.vbp is the program (when compiled) that acts as the template
for the exe. It is compiled to 'rdfce.ext'.
prjExeCompiler is the program used to create new exe files. It first
makes a copy of rdfce.ext to the file name supplied by the user, say
test.exe. It then writes user supplied data to the end of test.exe.
When test.exe is run, it reads the data contained in itself and work
accordingly (all that code is done in prjRdfce)
Hopefully, that explains the working.
.: Uses :.
For creating apps like self extracting archives, stand alone photo album,
etc etc. If you have done something with it then please write to me.
