Storage

This program is designed for creating and managing so-called composite files. The result is a file with a .dat extension in which files are packed in a certain tree structure.

Buttons in the Storage section are used to create, open or close the actual compound files. Closing a file will defragment it and then save the changes. In the Directories section you work at the directory level and finally in the Files section at the file level. In order to create a new directory you must have either the main directory (root) or a subdirectory marked in the right window. In order to insert a file you must have a subdirectory marked. You cannot create files in the root. You can also extract files using Extract file. The program then prompts you for the destination path where the file will be saved.

To use the Common.dll library to take advantage of structured files, you need to download Common SDK 1.0 (450kb).
