DESCoder

What is the purpose of adding text files into  a prv file when creating a DES container? How can you use these files from Lisp?

From AutoLISP documentation :

(vl-get-resource text-file)
"Returns the text stored in a .txt file packaged in a VLX"

So developers can put whatever helpful informations and/or application-related data into that .txt file,
and retrieve them at runtime, rather than to have this as external (visible + editable) file on disk.

Besides, AutoLISP FAS/VLS project definitions in .prv/.prj supports this feature, and as DEScoder wants
to behave compatible with -prv/.prj files, this feature needs to be supported
(developers then can use a single .prj/.prv project for both platforms).

I hope this explains well enough ?
Many greetings !

Thank you very much, Torsten.

I completly overlooked that possibility.
