Does MoleBox extract packed data files on the hard disk?
No. All the necessary data are extracted directly into memory when they are required. Your files are safely stored in the package. The only exception is made up of fonts which are registered with WinAPI RegisterFont() function prior to using. This function require font file to be extracted on the disk.
Are data files in the package well protected?
Yes. Package files are protected with strong encryption algorithm.
Can I rewrite packed data files?
No. MoleBox doesn't support writing files, because only unpacking and decrypting code is embedded into the application.
Are packed data available to the 3rd party programs?
No. It's the main purpose of MoleBox, to make packed data unavailable to the other programs. However, you can share your data between your packed programs.
Why I can't store PDF and CHM files in the package?
PDF and CHM files are typically viewed by external programs, and in this case cannot be packed. You cannot open an external application and pass a packed file to it. However, if you're using your own components to read such files, you can place them to the package.
