Has anyone else Are you comparing the size of your built application, or are you comparing the object size numbers as they appear in the project window? Remember that the final application will have things in it like the runtime libraries; depending on how many Pascal intrinsic routines you use, more of the runtime stuff will be linked in, resulting in a bigger program. Also, are you using overflow and range checking? That will also increase the code size. If you're giving a comparison, give ALL the details. --Rich Rich Siegel Staff Software Developer THINK Technologies Division, Symantec Corp.
