Can a variable act like a file?

Is it possible to implement somthing like a stream object and use it for I/O instead of a file? The ADO.Stream does not seem to have the functionality I need.

My problem is security. I'm using a proprietary compression utility that can only read/write to and from files. Is there an alternative to this in VB? If I can implement an object that will act like a file, then I can avoid writing data to the hard-drive.
