how big should a runtime be.

[DAVE/]

Hi

I have a 44 kb file on the mac side. I used the developer utility to make a runtime version and it says it is 70.4m

Is this normal? It seems awfully big to me.

Thanks

Yes it is normal -- The reason being about 70.936 of those mb are the files required for the runtime to operate..

I think you can safely remove the language dictionaries that will never be used...it should reduce the runtime's size.

Someone's math is a bit off on the 'required' files, but the point is valid. Move all of the dictionaries except the usenglish.mpr out of the Dictionaries folder in the runtime folder stuff. You might want to hold on to the other files, so just drag them into another folder, such as the 'English extras' one. This should cut out almost 10 Mb out.

Our examples are runtime-only, so we typically see a simple one start at about 38Mb (that includes a 900Kb db file), and will usually compress down to a little over 11Mb with Stuffit.
