How to reduce .EXE size (D3)

Hi,

In D1 there there was a compiler option to reduce the size of the .exe
file. Is there anyway to do this in D3. My .exe is now 1.2Mb and
growwiiinnnnggg...!

You can use the packets option when compiling. It does mean you will have
to distribute the packets too (I forget the extension, check the help
files), but at least upgrades or revisions can be distributed in a tiny
exe

Read up on 'thin' exe's in Borland on-line help, their printed docs or
their CD-ROM. Failing to find it there check out Borland's web site
newsgroups. D3 comes with this new feature.
