Large compiled SB programs are possible. The GD2 version of my General
Election program - on the downloads page of my website - weighs in at
270,934 bytes.
Am I the record holder?
The program is compiled by QLiberator and the size is mainly attributable
to the interactive constituency map,
Further to this email large compiled Turbo programs are also possible.
While writing the QL Today news I was checking some facts and realised
that the postcodes program on my website, which is Turbo compiled, is
251,492 bytes. Again the size is a reflection of the size of the databases
needed for mapping.
Dilwyn points out that Turbo can be configured for both <64 and >64. There
are also other commands on the same screen to govern the size of programs,
Even back in the early days of Turbo, my old Page Designer 2 program weighed
in at about 176K - it's always been possible to compile large programs,
although it's always been possible to compile for smaller memory systems too
using techniques such as LINK_LOAD.
