ABSTRACT:
A method and system for storing data in a file is provided. The present invention provides for data to be organized within a compound document as a file bundle. A file bundle is a file system file that contains sub-files, which may be organized hierarchically. The data within a file bundle file is preferably stored in a format defined by the program that generates the data. The program that generates the data can open the file bundle created by another program and directly access the data within the file bundle file.
