I have another view Richard,


NT4: 96KBs
W2K3 calculator: 113KB

The finder + system in MacOS1.0 = 160KBs
Windows 2003 Server install (Winnt alone) 1.8GBs ;0

By using a framework library, your applications are 90% smaller, 
and require 90% less support or development time but it does require
a larger framework library and about twice the time to work out the
library than it would for individual program features. On the other 
hand, by the time you re-use a feature, you've multiplied your efficiency
times 2!!! It's the Art of OOP ;)
