Is it possible to include DLL in exe

[Mr_Gee]

I would like to create a program which consists of only the exe file,
Is it possible to include the dll files in there..?



Thanks

There is a discussion here about merging libraries Combine DLLs into one

And also here Merging Basic4ppc libraries
Note the killer remark in Erel's final post in that thread "Please be aware that merged libraries will not work in version 6.0 optimized compiler."

Neither of these threads mention incorporating the merged library into the exe. However Erel has stated elsewhere that a future version will package the libraries into the exe.

The actual quote was "Most libraries will be embedded in the executable file." As to what "most" implies we will have to wait and see and there is no indication of timescale.

[Mr_Gee]

yes you are right, so what color is you 3.2 litre V6 Ford?

[agraham]

3.0 litre V6 Mondeo (2005) in Platinum. Last of the V6 line of high performance hatchbacks - Capris, Sierra 4x4s and Mondeos (I've had several of each)

Sadly the V6 is now reserved for Jaguars and America, the hot common European stuff now uses the Volvo 5 pot 2.5 litre

Mind you with the huge annual tax increase just announced in the name of greenness for higher consumption vehicles in the UK my next car might just have to be a 1.25 Fiesta

[Mr_Gee]

with the taxes here in holland the 1.0 fiesta is a better deal ;-)

Less CO2 than a 3 litre Ford (although there may be an offset in the benefits to global warming from the methane inducing experience)
