combining ini and array files with encrypyption

[uprize]

For my map editor I am storing all map terrain in a number array in MMF2. All other important info such as actives and their variables are stored in an ini file. So basically when I save the map I have 2 seperate files.
What is the best way to combine these 2 files together into 1 file, but will also allow my application to read from these 2 files at runtime? I was thinking about the zip object and encrypting that but I dont think that will work.
Any suggestions?

This method does work quite well, as I have done this before.
