Larry, How bout we start a thread on how to make Lattice executables or Manx executables or Modula 2 executables as small as possible ? For example, we could start with a small program uploaded in a library with a make file showing how it was built and then propose that people upload there versions of the same code slightly modified but still recognizable, and the make file used to build it and see how small we can get it. See who can make it the smallest and then document the techniques to use for each language. Also we could maybe get the various compiler vendors to upload their guidelines and suggestions for how to code to get the most out of their language. What do you think. Yes?/No? Paul Montgomery
