Dave,
Thank you - it sounds promissing. I'll play with it tomorrow.
Today tried Cygwin. Yes - binutils are fixed there and files are clear but ... it blows up my foo.pas to more then 1 MB - ~300 KB exe + 960 KB Cygwin1.dll !
1 MB for just "begin end". Brrrr.
Could you dynamic link the Cygwin1.dll ? Just a thought
The DLL *is* dynamically linked to the executables. I think what he meant was that he has to ship the DLL in addition to his executable.
If the program is for your own use on your own system, the size of the Cygwin DLL is a non-issue, since it is already there. Best regards, The Chief -------- Prof. Abimbola A. Olowofoyeku (The African Chief) web: http://www.bigfoot.com/~african_chief/
