OK, here's the deal - I want to use custom bitmaps and Images in
my AREXX programs so I can make beautiful custom gadgets to use with
rexxarplib and such.  Is there a nice way to do it?

	- store the binaries in a separate, indexed file.
	  This is icky because it means the program will require more
	  than one file.

	- store the binaries in text form (0xa7fb) in the AREXX source.
	  Big waste of space!

	- store the binaries in the resource fork.  Drat!

What do you suggest?
