Compiled File Size

Hi -

I just created and compiled my first Jabaco file. The file consists of a simple form with two ComboBoxes, two Buttons, two text boxes and one modular. The modular opens a text file and adds names to one of the ComboBoxes.

The compiled version of this file was about 600,000 bytes and I was wondering if there is a way to decrease the size of the compiled file? I have a large VB file that I want to convert and compile with Jabaco, but am concerned that it will be over 10 MB in size.

Thanks... Ronnie

Ok,. short answer (have not much time at the moment):

Compiled program size = runtime size + size of your compiled files

Everytime the files of the runtime (called "Jabaco.jar" in your Jabaco-directory) is integrated in your compiled file.
If you using the runtime which comes with Jabaco 1.5.2, then you see that the runtime have a size of 519.284 bytes.
If you using the latest update of this runtime (which is a lot of smaller and have more features, lesser bugs, etc), then your compiled programs will be smaller too.

The last version of the Runtime is revision 89.
You can find the last version - like all other versions I have compiled at
[ https://code.google.com/p/jbaindi/downloads/list ]
Or the direct link:
[ Jabaco-rev89.jar ]
Rename Jabaco-rev89.jar to Jabaco.jar and replace the existing Jabaco.jar in your Jabaco-directory with it.

Hi theuserbl - Thanks for getting back to me. The new runtime reduced my file by about 110,000 bytes. Thanks again... Ronnie
