<BR>
I notice that all programs compiled with Revolutions are on the heavy side (at least 1.8 megs,) even after you minimize usage of the optional libraries. <BR>
<BR>
Is it because Revolution packs the runtime libraries along with every compiled project like Visual Basic does?<BR>
<BR>
I prefer Revolution to VB or C++ because it appears to be much easier to learn and use (not to mention it's cross platform feature), however, I am envious of the compactness of C++.<BR>
<BR>
Why is C++ so small as compared to Revolution?<BR>
<BR>
A program that is cross-platform like Revolution, but extremely compact is Rebol. (http://www.rebol.com) The avg prog size for rebol is only about 5k (as opposed to 1800K for Revolution.) How did they manage to make Rebol so compact?<BR>
<BR>
Other than reducing the associated libraries, avoiding media files (graphics, audio, video, etc.) what tricks and tips can be used to make Revolution produce leaner and trimer executables? </FONT></HTML>
