I have an associate who has a huge program (mostly data statements) written in GW-Basic. He wants to 1) reduce its size so that he can include more data statements and 2) make a compiled version to increase speed. Are there any compilers that would meet these requirements? I've heard reports that most of the current compilers would actually cause a code size increase due to the runtime libraries needed. This is for a program running on a XT clone with only a single floppy drive, I believe. -Owen Owen Hartnett omh@cs.brown.edu.CSNET Brown University Computer Science omh@cs.brown.edu uunet!brunix!omh "Don't wait up for me tonight because I won't be home for a month."
