CompRes is for use with
the
SPIS TCompress component. It's purpose is to
make simple the task of creating a Windows(r) resource file that can
contain multiple compressed files. Resource files are attached to your
executable and can be loaded by your application at run-time. Use the
TCompress "LoadCompressedResource" method to easily access
individual files from the resource.

If you program in Delphi or C++Builder, how can you possibly survive without TCompress?
And if you use TCompress, you need CompRes!
CompRes is a

TCompress is a very
useful general purpose compression program. You can use it in
database applications to compress blobs, in general purpose software
to store user data in compressed form or as we do here at Qivx, to archive
information that must go with the application. The best way to store
program data is attached to the executable as resource files.
CompRes is a utility that makes it easy to create TCompress resource
files.
|
| If your application uses multiple static text, data or RTF files, one of
the most effective ways of keeping them all with your application is to
compress them into a TCompress archive. The archive file can be
distributed with the application, but what happens if it is deleted by the
user? TCompress includes methods for loading compressed files from
standard resource files, but the process of creating that resource file
can be tedious. (It's a "Windows" thing.)
|
| This utility
automates the process of creating a TCompressed resource file which you can link to your Delphi
(or C++ Builder) executable. It can contain multiple data, text, RTF
or any other resources which you can normally load from a stream. The files
are compressed with the SPIS TCOMPRESS component and decompressed when
requested by your application.
