Re: BDS2006 exe sizes

In news:4k7Mf.285$k13.67@xxxxxxxx,
Jamie <jamie_ka1lpa_not_valid_after_ka1lpa_@xxxxxxxxxxx> typed:

there is almost no benefit distinguishing a 1 meg app from a 1 byte
app ( _almost_ )

But there's a lot of difference between a 1 meg application and a 2
meg application - under Delphi 6, my application can no longer be
distributed on 1.44mb floppy disks :(

Hmm, not too people have floppies any more in their pc's either!

Well, that entirely depends upon what your target audience run, doesn't it?
Some of us still write software to be run on Win95 for old 486s... CD drives
are few and far between :-)
