Now we can squeeze image files all into 1 big file
I always hated how when you run a game with turing that requires so many images, and the images are all clustered in a folder.Computer Science Canada [source] PackFile |

A simplification from some of my C++ Code A collection of functions to make a packfile (i.e. a file containing a bunch of other files) There is no compression, but it could be useful for distributing a large number of files Because of turing's slowness dont try to use this with files>1mb note: I would release the cpp version but it uses a bunch of other classes and files that i wrote How to Use:: Call AddToPackFile(filename) for all the files you want in the packfile
After youve done that Call CreatePackFile (outputTo) with the parameter being the filename of the packfile its gonna make
To Extract a file from a pack file: GetFile (whichPack,whichFileInPack,whereToOutputIt)

No idea how to use it, but i get the gist of how it works. You have to add some lines at the bottom, i just dont know what to put after em 
you gotta put ' CreatePackFile (name here) GetFile ?? maybe GetFileSize ?? maybe lol, but nice work,  |
