Hi everybody, I'm sorry if I don't speak a good english, but I don't often speak english...

I've posted in the french DBP forum (www.games-creator.com) a message wich explain how to have litle exe (- 4mb!!!!) and save meory usage (~127mb!!!) with DBP...
I give you the url:
http://www.webzinemaker.com/admi/m10/page.php3?num_web=19311&rubr=3&id=144566
But it's in french, so, if you don't speak french, it might be difficult...
You can try with a translator (google...)

At least you've got the apostrophes in the right place... I'll translate it later and see if its valid.


Mirrors are more fun than television. Well, that was fun, in a not-so-fun sort of way...

It's a bit of a long-winded method, but valid.

All of the Conv*.dll files are included by DBPro by default if you are using 3D commands, so just by moving the formats that you aren't using into another folder you stop this happening.

something else:

each dlls included in your exe is uncompressed in the windir\temp\dbpdata folder... if this folder already exist, dbp create another folder (dbpdataxx)
Files in this folder are used only when you launch your exe, so you ca place at the top of your code:

"delete directory windir$()+"temp\dbpdata"

It's strongly recomanded to place this line in each yours programs...
