If you use strings you risk losing data. No, you WILL lose data. I am using Data() now, and successfully made an installer for about 2 megs of data. The resulting .exe was 15 megs, but I UPX'ed it down to 2. I ran the program, and it installed all the files perfectly, and very fast. It is really nice to have an installer that just does its job without taking like 30 mouse clicks.

I have a 60-mb source code I am going to try to compile now. This might be the biggest Blitz source ever.
