That's not too bad. The original was 50K. And this new version is a bit more complex, so it was going to get at least a little bigger. As long as it stays down around 100k, I'm fine with that. I've got a massive string class that I wrote. This is the only application I've ever used it in. Works pretty good, hehe.
