Er, what? How are you generating your standalone executables? What size is "acceptable"? python24.dll is only 1.8M -- surely on any non-embedded platform these days 1.8M isn't worth bothering about. And since you mention wx (all of another 4.8M) I'd guess we're talking about desktop applications. Who's going to notice if your executable is a couple of M slimmer? -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
