Abstract

See full text

Multiple files are combined into a single file (64a) in new executable format to operate a hardware or software device, such as a peripheral device (30a), while retaining compatibility with an operating system (40). The resources portion (98) of the single file is extended to put one or more non-executable file (96) and executable file (97) in the single file. A header includes a resources table that identifies the location of the non-executable files and executable files within the resources section. The executable file is accessed and loaded by the operating system (40) after the peripheral device (30a) is connected to the computer (10), and the executable file is used to operate the peripheral device (30a).
