Attatching information to executables

Hello, my first post, not my first problem :).
OK, I am developing a program for game development without programming. It can be found at geocities.com/clickcreator.

But, heres my problem - I need to have a runner executable, which runs half-compiled code (interpreter). But I want to have just one file with everything in it - just a EXE. How can I embed the data at the end of the executable? I was thinking maybe tricking it into stopping at a paticular point, but I'm not so sure. Right now it's in a seperate game.dat file.

This would be windows specific, and you can do it by using resources. Depending on what you are actually storing it might be a bit difficult--I'm not really sure because all I've ever stored are icons and string tables

You might start with a google search on resources or resource files (or something along those lines)

Well, I'll google it. What can't be?
I'm trying to store strings. Such as

ROOM
DIM: 640 480
BGC: 100 100 100
OBJ: 1
OBJL
OBJ 1 !

also, I'm NOT exactly a windows programmer - I can understand Windows code, not write it. I'm using SDL.

*edit*
Maybe I should mention that the information will NOT be known at compile time - The editor will need to attatch it to the executable.

Doing something like this at runtime will require a lot of effort, it may be more worth your while to investigate other solutions to your problem.

Check google with the question: how does archiv-files works. it's really easy. you can use the same princip in your program.
