Data File DLL
This DLL allows you to write integers, strings and files together in one single file.

All the data is bound to a variable name.

Example:
handle = HDF_Open ("mydata.hdf");
HDF_SetString (handle,"Var1","This is data");

Update version 1.2.0.0:
Encryption support added,
wich needs a function to be called to set the password before reading/writing values.

Ofcourse you can leave encryption off for less slow packing.
Example of integrated encryption:

Value: Please protect this string
Encrypted: —4c´[mÙ[¸BAã!_¯¸VùÆää

Update version 1.3.0.0:
Updating your existing data is now possible.

This works amazingly well! Just what I was looking for. You pulled
through for me again Hobbel, your work is highly respected and
appreciated.

On a side note, you do know that even if you have encryption on, the
variable name that you use to reference the data within a packed file can
be easily see in plain view by any text editor, right? Of course, it
would be completely useless to a hacker or someone to see that, but I
thought I'd let you know...
