You can work on a custom System unit to get the size down - I was thinking of
doing
this for CGI applications to help uploading speeds, but I'm not sure yet
whether it
is worth the efforts. My first priority is to take all the functions out of
Sysutils
which don't rely on finalization, because sysutils hauls in 60K, and is a bigger
priority for size. Uploading a 60K CGI program is annoying for modem/lite speed
Cable
users. Project is called CompactUtils and not completed yet.
