Re: Multiple files into one file

To add to Ali's post...

You may also want to create a header for each file so you can find it
quickly. Perhaps you could leave space for an address in each header that
points to the place where the next file starts as sort of a linked list.
You could also create a second (index) file that contains a list of all of
the file info for each file in the main "database" file.

I guess a lot depends on how often you need to access the information. You
may want to look at some standard formats like TAR and then you could use
some standard commands to extract:

You could also use a .ZIP file for the same sort of thing using a library
like:
