The program in the Racket directory are just "launchers" that rely on code in the collection tree to implement the program. > And this is the command used > > Raco exe --gui test > > Program size : 6.48 MB The `raco exe' command creates an executable that is closer to stand-alone, including all bytecode into the executable. When you create a truly stand-alone distribution with `raco dist', then the result is even bigger, since it includes a copy of the Racket run-time system and (depending on the platform) additional support libraries. I think we don't currently have a command-line tool to generate launchers like the ones in the Racket directory, but if that's what you want, the `launcher/launcher' library provides functions such as `make-gracket-launcher'. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
