Doug,
For whatever reason, copy File file1 to file2 doesn't work but FiletoStr()/StrtoFile() does. The functions can read from within the EXE and you can then copy where ever you want.

FWIW, I used the EXTERNAL directive to include the files. Ex.

external file starter.bmp
external file wvleft.bmp
