Hi NG,
I apologize in advance if this has been asked before. I couldn't find an
answer.

I'm evaluating BCB6. I tried doing a blank project (just a new project saved
with no changes). The only things I did were turn off dynamic linking to RTL
and dynamic packages so that I would end up with a standalone .exe. I also
changed to release config. Building this project gives me a 450kb file. Is
this to be expected? It seems big. Are there any setting that I can change
to reduce the size?

Please note that I'm not interested in doing straight Win32 API programming.
I'm specifically interested in building a GUI standalone .exe using VCL
(reasons are not relevant).

TIA,
Santiago
