Here a Bat, there a Bat, everywhere a Bat Bat...
My small collection of downloaded TB! files, held on hand in case I need to reinstall, now includes the following: 153t3,844 Kb 160c4,659 Kb 160h2,473 Kb It seems that I should be able to discard the 160c file in favor of the 160h file, but I am hesitant because of the difference in file sizes. The 160h file is the installation file on the RITlabs web site as of today; it appears to be the complete program, not simply the program executable. The 160c file was, I think, the same type of offering on the same web site. 1. Why are they so different in size? 2. Any reason to retain the 160c file? (or the 153t file?) -- JN Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes - see my problem/solution with 1.60h above. Since each file doesn't take up so much space, I always keep a copy (at least on CD-R). If you're worried about space on your hard drive, you can always keep backup copies on CD (a good idea anyway; in case something happens to your hard drive).

Hello Joseph, 28. april 2002, 18:38:48, you wrote: JN 1. Why are they so different in size? 1.53 (and earlier) were written in Delphi 2.0, which created smaller executables. 1.54beta10e and newer are written in Delphi 6. The 1.60h is compressed with EXE packer (I think it's UPX URL:http://upx.sf.net/), and is therefore smaller. -- Jernej Simoncic, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/ ICQ: 26266467 [The Bat! v1.60d on Windows 98 4.10..

Melissa, it turns out that the 160c file I detailed was the program executable, not the installation package. It's in use now (having reverted from 160h), and working fine. What size is your 160c executable? (And how, BTW, would I calculate or verify the MD5 hash?)
