title: How to store data inside the executable file
body: <p>I need to find a way to store 250 KB of plain text numbers inside my program's executable file.</p>
  
  <p>Usually, I would put the data in a separate file and let the program read it while it is running, but that's not an option here. Instead, the program and the data need to be in one executable file.</p>
  
  <p>I have absolutely no idea how to do it (except writing 250.000 #defines :-) and I'd appreciate any suggestions.</p>
