Any obvious reason anyone know of? # # Well, AFAIK, it's still got symbolic debug info in every .EXE (the # smallest is READELF.EXE at 588,307 bytes, which is still bigger than # any .EXE in 2.16.1). Running 'strip *.exe' seems to shrink them down # to almost the same as 2.16.1's total. D'oh! :-S Sorry 'bout that, I even noticed the increase but as usual was trying to do too many things at once... # Gordon, maybe you should repackage / reupload the BNU217B.ZIP since I # don't think most users will be debugging these, and it'll spare # everyone's bandwidth in the long run. Absolutely. I'm going to end up repackaging most of the stuff I've done already due to little things like this - it's not too big a deal. # Oh, and before I forget ... thanks a million for your hard work! ;-) No problem - I've been getting good usage out of the DJGPP tools for some years now; putting some back seems only fair.
