I've been investigating a strange problem with the help of a local Delphi mailing list but we are stumped. I have 2 computers with Delphi 5 Pro service pack 1 installed on both. AMD K6II-500 & Intel PII-266. I copied a project contained in one folder from one computer to the other & compiled them both. The AMD powered computer produces an EXE that is 38k bigger (686k v 648k). The project options for debugging etc are all the same -- obviously because they were copied with the project files. I've checked & double checked all the Debuging & Compile options are the same. All the same component versions are installed. Compiling a blank project with only a "Uses Forms" clause, produces EXE sizes very close but different by 1k -- 287k v 288k. Can anyone suggest why this is or how it can be? I can provide the 2 blank form EXE's if anyone can disassemble them for analysis. Many thanks, Ross Levis New Zealand.
