You yourself wrote a framework: the code that get's the TerraEd maps loaded and running in Blitz.

I think he mean the usage of the Framework command in BMax:
The explaination is simple:
Normally a compiled BMAX exe includes every single MOD, so the exe size will grow with the amount of Mods installed in BMAX. The Framework command tells the compiler that only some Modules are needed and that makes the exe much smaller. ie:

Framework BRL.Blitz
Import BRL.Retro
...
...
this will only include the mentioned Modules.

Without it will include all modules.
