Sure. All you've got to do is right-click on the various HLA
subdirectories containing source code, select properties, and it will
tell you the size of that folder.


Ah! Now deviating from the "4 Megas of sources for the
so called 'Standard Libray'", to the "4 Megas of bloated
bullshits in your folders".
???
Right-click on the HLA standard library folder. Check the size.
Then you can right-click on the examples folder. That shows 4.19
megabytes.
Then on the WPA folder, that shows 2.03 megabytes.
Oh, the include folder, 1.22 megabytes.
The AoA book folder, 1.61 megabytes
The AoA electronic folder, 5.72 megabytes

oh, and a correction, the HLA stdlib folder is actually 2.72 megabytes,
I misread the "size on disk" number in my previous post.

And that's just the HLA source code, that doesn't include any of the
code in other languages I've written during this time (e.g., HLA source
code, 3.4 megabytes, code from various projects at work, ??? but lots
and lots of megabytes), and that doesn't include all the work that went
into writing four different books during this time period (for which
"megabytes" is hardly a reasonable metric.

Bottom line: 4 megabytes of source code for 8 years of work is *not*
that impressive. Given how little time I've spent on HLA itself over
the past 10 years, the cumulative size of the source code is not that
impressive, either. If I were working on HLA full-time as you claim to
have done on RosAsm, the number would have been much higher.




Well...

Well, 4 megabytes of source code isn't much to brag about. Yet you do
it every chance you get. You're like the little boy in the locker
room...
