AW: The Art of Dissolving Splash Screens

[Viktoras Didziulis]

one can stuff almost anything - images, scripts, stylesheets into a dll file
and then use these resources through res:// protocol. Occasionally I used
Microsoft's HTA (Html application) technology before I found Revolution. It
allows to develop an application using html/css/javascript+activex, create
the "front" start.hta that loads and uses all the things (stylesheets,
javascripts, bitmaps) on request from whatever.dll like a <href=
res://mysoft.dll/GUI/SOFT_SQL">SQL query</a>.
 
Drawback of HTA is that it is MS Windows only and patented by Microsoft, so
unlikely to become multiplatform. However Adobe with its AIR somehow managed
to overcome patenting issues and is releasing similar thing for all
platforms.

We call it a file. It is a file. But the file is broken up into segments 
(header etc). Works exactly the same as a "bundle". It's just that we 
think of it as a file because that's how it's presented to us in the OS. 
The same can be said for folders (directories). They are no more "real" 
than files. ;-)
