[Jan Bernard van Doorn asks several questions, mostly about minimizing unicon]
> Has anyone tried to interface to Berkeley DB 3 I haven't been paying close attention to Berkeley DB, but if you mean the NDBM compatible one, it would be relatively easy to drop it in in place of GDBM. If I remember it right, the main reason we standardized on GDBM was that it provided an extended API with a reasonable way to generate database keys in a manner that was safe for us to use, and many platform-provided NDBM-compatible databases were limited and broke on larger applications. > I noticed ivib and libXpm.a are still being produced (in nongraphics builds) This is on our list of things to fix. If you fix it, please pass along your makefile changes! > The icon 9.4.1 iconx binary is 100K smaller (than unicon's iconx). Does it > take that amount of space to implement the unicon object model? No, its not the object model, its the extended POSIX and networking code, database support, etc. > Is it possible to strip unicon further down in size If it is file size you are working on, I have had good experiences with an executable compression tool, I think it was UPX from upx.sourceforge.net It works on (at least) Linux and Windows, and builders of Unicon binary distributions should look at using it. It would not be too difficult to construct special custom versions of iconx which were much smaller, by omitting unused built-in functions. It would be nice to make this easily configurable in the define.h or the makefile. Some of the built-ins are so seldom used that they should be Icon library procedures rather than C built-ins by default. But, this all won't happen by magic, it will happen when someone who needs it puts in the effort to make it so!
