When I compile a simple WIN32 example with Borland C++ Builder, the size of the .EXE file is about 52kb. When I compile the same example with Visual C++, the size is 28kb. So, how can I make really SMALL programs with BCB? What must I do to make them smaller without having to copy Borland''s Dll-files to every computer which uses my program? Is it possible for me to make my own runtime-libs with which to link my programs and make them smaller?

If you have access to the old MSJ articles in 1996, Matt Pietrek did an "Under the Hood" article that describes how to shrink the size of the executable. If you have the MSDN Library CD you can look it up with a search on "size does matter." There''s another article by Matt Peitrek thats called "Remove Fatty Deposits from Your Applications Using Our 32-bit Liposuction Tools" that deals with other ways to slim down your executable.
