Reduce EXE filesizes?

Every time I cmpile a delphi program I have created, it usually ends
up being around 250k+, even for a basic program.

How can I reduce the EXE filesize.

I am a Delphi 1 user,

Barry

Two ways: Optimize your code, or ONLY use the WinAPI (no VCL).

The price you pay for using Delphi's speed, is it's size of the
application (which, all things considered, aren't that bad...)

Make sure that both of the following check boxes are unchecked in the
IDE:

Both increase the size of your DCU files and/or EXE files.

You could also use Shrinker.
