How To:
After gathering all the files you want to make into TCompressed resources into a subdirectory of your Delphi or C++Builder project:

Click on the [Create .rc & .res files] button. The following actions take place:

  • Each of the files in your subdirectory will be compressed to a temporary file with the name composed of the original name combined with the original extension followed by the new extension .cdt.

  • An ".rc" file will be written with which to direct the resource compiler.

  • A silent DOS command will be issued to run the resource compiler with the newly created .rc file as the argument.

  • If successful, a .res file with the same name as your directory will be created.

  • The temporary .cdt files are erased, leaving your resource directory as it was.

You can also:

  • Reselect recent work 

  • Choose your preferred compression method 

  • View a file 

  • Extract the CompRes source code 

  • Get Help 

To complete the process, add the code to project that loads your resources using the TCompress method "LoadCompressedResource", build your application and you are done! CompRes comes with sample code, including abridged source code for CompRes itself, which, of course, uses the techniques it enables!
