Iv been looking at one of my compiles, now all i did was a window with apptitle in there a delay(3000) the project is 1.3meg, however! iv been looking at the .exe and i have detirmined that this .exe shouldn't need to be about 400k maybe less, theres alot of reference to .jpg and PNG, and im not using any. Will BlitzMax or an update to Blitz3D be more picky? i mean if i use a .jpg file, then the code will go in to the .exe if i dont, the code will be left out.

BlitzMax will be more picky.

Yous can use upx to compress them down a bit, but yeah, it is a bit big.

oh man, this program rocks, NOTE if your gonna use your images inside your .exe dont, cos they get compressed and are unreadable from Terebits File Archive

UPX *before* you add the DataPak data and everything will be happy!
