maybe it was optimized out of the binary? anyhow, what you should do is
store the data within a resource (ie: xxxx0000.bin) and then use the
resource management system to obtain, lock and use the data stored.
ie:
memHandle = DmGetResource('xxxx', 0);
if (memHandle != NULL)
data = (unsigned char *)MemHandleLock(memHandle);
you can use post-processing tools like par or prc2bin and build-prc
to rip apart and re-construct a binary :) we have our own little tool
on our website for generation of unique binaries for each user that
purchases our products :)
