Hi, Looking at some of the filesizes in excess of 14MB is indeed a very disturbing thought... Also I find it very strange that an application has multiple executables; you're doing something wrong here.
Apart from that, I find it very hard to believe you're having successful results by UPX'ing your executables. UPX is only a utility to shrink your final exe-size, it does NOT decrease your codebase-size, in fact it adds a little amount of needed RAM to execute the file. The UPX utility compares somewhat to a "stubbed" (self- extracting) ZIP-file and it could (potentially) slow down the startup-speed of your exe by a few milliseconds or even seconds, depending on codesize and processorspeed. Just my two cents, Peter. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of David Smith > Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 11:24 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [delphi-en] exe does not work on win98 > > > 14MB executable size is absurd for one app!
