fogman, thanks for the suggestion. i have tried this, but i couldn't get it to work, maybe i'm doing something wrong?

i have e.g. a file called "myfile.txt". i do the resource, binding that file, and then i try:
file_cpy("myfile.txt", "myfile.pak");

is that right? or do i have to rename the file to myfile.pak before doing the resource?

thanks for your help
