| Saving variables within a compiled exe? Is it possible to write variables directly into the main ".exe" file, so that when the program is next run, it still remembers what the variables were last set to? I imagine that this is normally done using .dat files, or text files, or even registry entries, but is it possible to do within the ".exe" itself? |

| What operating system? Under Windows, you can use the BeginUpdateResource/UpdateResource/EndUpdateResource API's. Of course you have to have an existing resource section in the executable for those to work. |
