If you want an example, my wordgrinder app does this: http://wordgrinder.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wordgrinder/wordgrinder/ The relevant code to load the bytecode blocks is in src/c/lua.c, script_load_from_table(), but it's pretty much trivial; of more interest is probably tools/multibin2c.lua, which is the script that takes all the bytecode files and turns them into the C source file that gets compiled in to the rest of the program. -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ ⍎'⎕',∊N⍴⊂S←'←⎕←(3=T)⋎M⋏2=T←⊃+/(V⌽"⊂M),(V⊝"M),(V,⌽V)⌽"(V,V←1⎺1)⊝"⊂M)' │ --- Conway's Game Of Life, in one line of APL
