Somthing like this: type of format (gif, aif, etc). Name of graphic or sound, Number of bytes the file uses. Put the file here. keep looping. So if you had a gif named myGif and a wav named coolMusic.wav, you can put them in the same file like this: GIF myGif 5634 picture data here taking up 5634 bytes wav coolMusic.wav 12765 wav data here taking up 12765 bytes Al Staffieri Jr. AlStaff@... http://members.aol.com/AlStaff/index.html
