Nope, I've been using  AltCleanStack for a while now and when I ran  
it on these stacks, it reduced the file size by just 180K, and by  
redoing the stacks completely (within the standalone) I reduced the  
size by 3 megs, almost 50% of the file size.  I guess that working in  
stacks in the IDE just puts a sort of "footprints" in there that  
increase the file size.  But again, now that I know this it's no  
problem whatsoever to work around it.

Cheers,
