• Program that can convert files to binary.

I've been scouting Google and I've yet to find anything that does this. Currently I'm reshacking files into a blank dll and using Resource Hacker to extract them as binary yet that's too time consuming. Anyone know of anything?
What's the point?
I take it you're making your own resources into DLL files? Probably for themes, right? :dance:
Not really sure what you mean by 'convert to binary'.
:doh: I think he needs a "compiler" :phoneb::phone:
What kind of files is he compiling then?
I think you'll find all your data files are already stored in binary. So file -> save as should do the trick. Or am I missing something?

A hexeditor?

Thing is, I was hoping for a better way to do that other than opening the program, reshacking the file into it, saving it, and then extracting as binary.

Though I don't reshack with my themes I use a utility that does so in memory where I don't have to replace dll files. Though due to the fact it's designed to replace nearly any resource all files have to be in that format. Text files, XML files, etc are ok as long as you rename them *.bin. Icons, images, cursors, sounds, etc have to be "converted".
