Hi Thomas,
Yes but, I do not do any of the things in my source code that you mentioned.
That is no rem statements, indenting of paragraphs or anything like that. So
my style is constant in my source code, but if you look at the two lists below
you would think that they would be in the same order, but they are not.
Below the frm files are the source code files and of course the exe are the
executable files.

Hi Jim,
That's because the executable doesn't need everything included in your
source file. As I mentioned to Phil we do a lot of things to make
source code human readable like double spacing between functions,
commenting a line so what we know this line of text does, indenting
programs so we can see which are inner and outer blocks of code, etc.
Even things like functions, variables, braces, brackets, etc are
stripped once converted into machine language.
None of these things are needed because all your CPU understands is
pulses of ons and offs or in machine languages ones and zeroes. A
compiler goes through your code line by line, ignores everything that
is irrelevent, and then converts the remaining code into thousands of
ones and zeros, binary language, that your CPU understands. As a
result most of the stuff we see on screen when programming is stripped
away leaving only the essential memory locations and strings of binary
that represents instructions thus making the binary far smaller than
our source code.
Cheers!
Jim
