Just after the Borland Conference there was a questionair on the
Borland Web site asking who would be intrested in a new version of the
Delphi 16 (Delphi 1.5), what you would like to see in it, and other
things.  Anyway a couple weeks ago it was taken off.

  Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone out there has heard or seen
anything about this subject.

Yes, they did a study on the feasibility of
releasing another 16 bit version of Delphi.
(Delphi 1.5)  Aparently, they are going forward
with it, and are going to eventually release it.
This is great, because there are still lots of
Win 3.x users out there that would be left in
the cold if Borland didn't.

I know of this as well! I just hope they use the same cool packing methods in
Delphi 1.5 as they use in Delphi 3.0 (as they demonstrated on the BDC).

Borland seems to have devised a new packing method where only THOSE components
are packed (linked) into your EXE that are necessary, as well as their
ancestors (basically the ancestor class and the changed/added properties, as
well as their values).

This obviously reduces the EXE's size by a significant bit. He says that they
had two identical apps written in Delphi 2.0 and 3.0, they had the same code
and did they same thing. The Delphi 2.0 app had a size of roughly 200K, the
Delphi 3.0 app a size of about 25K.

Isn't that cool???

It's also credible. I have scanned through the Delphi 2 EXE files and there is
almost endless duplication, even (or especially) of ASCII text.

Remember, this decrease in .EXE size comes from moving VCL stuff into a DLL. I
don't remember being shown how big the .DLL became when the technology was
shown, but I would guess (I could be wrong though) that total size is not all
that different.

If them simply removed the routines you don't need. It can save quite a lot.
