You can also give a try to UPX (http://upx.sourceforge.net/) Does a good job, stable, and very popular. You pay a small performance penalty at startup (to uncompress in memory), but you also gain something by loading fewer bytes from disk, which is slow. Overall, you will probably not notice. -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Visual C++] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email

I vaguely remember that resource-only DLLs have been possible for quite a long time - possibly before new fangled ideas like LoadLibraryEx() ? Just a thought - I may be wrong.

Just to be specific, here is my code, complete with old comments! (My class USERMODULE manages the loading of menus and other resources when the user wants one of the non-English language options. This is a low-level private static member used by the class. I think the only reason this member exists at all was to encapsulate my experiments on different methods!) HINSTANCE USERMODULE::muLanguageDllLoad( LPCTSTR pszName ) { HINSTANCE hInstLanguage(NULL); // Test various options for loading resource-only DLL: // hInstLanguage = ::LoadLibraryEx( pszName, NULL, LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE ); // hInstLanguage = ::AfxLoadLibrary( pszName ); hInstLanguage = ::LoadLibrary( pszName ); return hInstLanguage; } It appears I have been remiss in not noting *why* I chose that one of the three options :-( Dave -- David Webber Mozart Music Software http://www.mozart.co.uk For discussion and support see http://www.mozart.co.uk/mozartists/mailinglist.htm

You needed a DllMain, from what I remember (it was possible to build them, but not to load them) -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Visual C++] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email |
