Now I have written Powershell scripts to automate the conversion from ANSI to UTF-8 See here

Thanks, while developing I will make an extra DLL with data and in the final version I will include the byte array with data in the body of the exe project. Erhy

now with .NET a hang with the resources I embedded more than 150 wave Files with the build action 'Embedded Resource' and want memory pointers to the data. With MFC a used LockResource to get a pointer - this is fast. I see, in .NET an access is only possible with Streams. I think this will take a while and need a big memory space. Have you an idea? Erhy
