   Resource packager
  Hey all,I was thinking of writting a resource packager just for fun. I've already written something using the huffman algorithm but its not working so well for binaries. So anyone got suggestions on what algorithm I should use? I know there is probably a lot of these tools already available but this is mainly a learning experience. If you could name a few it would help also in case I fail ;)My idea was to make a simple UI where you would select a couple of files and then create a header specifying the file structure and compress it with an algorithm. Would that work? It could also export to a .h or .java (I'm really considering making a game in java) the resource IDs so I could code a little loader later as well.   
  HeyI had thought of sort of the same thing but without compression, so I dont have an algorithm to suggest, but:Rather than a seperate .h file, I had thought of including a kind of header at the begining of the packed file, that would play the role of an index. It would tell you what files were packed, what size, what offset and maybe allow you to access them with a handle.   ;  The .h would only be a way of finding the files in the package from the code via a loader. Sort of like what the .rc files are doing in VS.
