Forums Feature Suggestions DAT Files

mIRC Should support DAT files(creating, using, etc.), if you disapprove of this say why and if u know a way, tell me another way to run DAT files...
and this was not a topic that i could find in the search so...

.dat is a generic extension, not a file format. Every program that saves data in a DAT file picks its own format to do so. This is not the same as INI files (for example), which have a standard format.

You can already manipulate any file using mIRC's existing commands and identifiers.

i know, but like putting info onto a dat file, like pix

As I said, there is no standard for DAT files, so there's no standard for storing pictures (or anything else) inside of them.

The Binary File commands (/help Binary Files) already allow you to implement your own arbitrary format for storing data. There's no reason for mIRC to do it.

this is irrelevant, but does anyone know how to create a dll with pictures?
