about --> SKIN, ZIP, ACESS, INTERNAL ACCESS (How do the skins work? )
.zip files are compressed files which can contain many individual files within them. You
can use pkzip or winzip to create these. There are some publicly available subroutines
that can read these. However, there are other methods for putting groups of things
together. I don't know skin technology (I consider it a geek toy) but you might also
consider creating a resource-only DLL and extracting the components from that.
