So I copied stubify.exe into the bin dir and it ran alright. But now when I make a simple EXE file that just displays 'Hello, world' it's bloody 293K! Why is it so big? I checked the FAQ and it suggested using the -s switch when compiling. So I tried that but the file is still like 140K! What gives? How can I make the file smaller? -- - Andrew - volt9000 AT home DOT com - ICQ# 21533195
