Create smaller EXEs

Problem/Question/Abstract:

Create smaller EXEs

Answer:

Delphi 3 can create reasonable smaller executables (*.EXE files) than Delphi 1/ 2.

Go to menu "Project | Options", select tab "Packages" and check the option "Build with runtime packages".
The packages listed in the text - by default:

vclx30;VCL30;vcldb30;vcldbx30;VclSmp30;inetdb30;inet30;Qrpt30;
teeui30;teedb30;tee30;dss30;IBEVNT30

will not be compiled into the EXE file. Instead you will have to ship a *.DCP file.

This makes (only) sense if you have several applications using the same controls = the same *.DCP file.
