     This code can automatically convert one or more binary files into a single "self-extracting" VB6 class module. If you want to embed binary files into your project but want to make sure that they can not easily be manually extracted or modified then this code is what you are looking for! The generated class module has not only properties for querying the embedded file count, file names and file sizes but even offers events for the status of the extraction progress. You can save a single or all embedded files with a single command. Additionally you can also use the .GetFile() function in order to load a file into a string variable instead of writing it back to a file. Last but not least the embedded file data is always encrypted with a random key. Have fun!
