Subject: How do you reduce Revolution's compiled program sizes?


Hi,

I notice that all programs compiled with Revolutions are on the heavy
side (at least 1.8 megs,) even after you minimize usage of the optional
libraries. 

Is it because Revolution packs the runtime libraries along with every
compiled project like Visual Basic does?

I prefer Revolution to VB or C++ because it appears to be much easier to
learn and use (not to mention it's cross platform feature), however, I
am envious of the compactness of C++.

Why is C++ so small as compared to Revolution?

A program that is cross-platform like Revolution, but extremely compact
is Rebol. (http://www.rebol.com) The avg prog size for rebol is only
about 5k (as opposed to 1800K for Revolution.) How did they manage to
make Rebol so compact?

Other than reducing the associated libraries, avoiding media files
(graphics, audio, video, etc.) what tricks and tips can be used to make
Revolution produce leaner and trimer executables?
