Decolorizing scripts?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Paul,

When you make a standalone, the Standalone Builder removes all  
colorisation from the scripts. There is no reason to decolorise  
scripts before making a standalone.

Also, by decolorising scripts, you reduce the standalone only by a  
few kilobytes. There are very big libraries included in Revolution,  
the scripts of which are not decolorised before they are added to the  
standalone. So, while the standalone builder may remove a few  
kilobytes of colour information, it also adds tons of colorised  
scripts from the libraries. Maybe we should report this as a bug.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
