Message-ID: <3330@ucdavis.ucdavis.edu> Date: 30 Nov 88 07:09:11 GMT Sender: uucp@ucdavis.ucdavis.edu Reply-To: jedeline@deneb.ucdavis.edu (Jim Deline) Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 12 The ads for Lightspeed Pascal 2.0 say that it produces the tightest, fastest code of all Pascal compilers. Well, I received my upgrade yesterday, and when I compiled a program I had written with version 1.11 it was 7K larger!! The original program compiled to 23K, and the compiled version with 2.0 compiled to 30K...this is hardly smaller. Has anyone else tested version 2.0 to see what the size difference is when they compile old source code? I would be interested in hearing from you. J. Deline UCD Chem. Dept.
