[nsbasic-ce] Size of NSB CE files

2009-11-28 Thread jingjok67
Hi George,

We have developed a complex app in NSB, and found that the limit of the size of 
the application file is 2MB, which we are approaching now.
(Splitting the app is not an option)
When files get bigger than 1.5 MB things slow down and some devices crash with 
out of memory errors, especially when the huge SQLite 3 dlls are used.
Programs take more than 10MB working memory when running.

I noticed that the old eVB programs take up almost exactly half as much space 
as the same NSB programs do, i.e a test.nsb is 100K then a test.vb file 
containing the same code is 50K. Is this because NSB uses Unicode files rather 
than ANSI ? 

Would there be any way to change the NSB to use ANSI to save space or any other 
trick ?

Thanks...
   Jingjok

Re: [nsbasic-ce] Size of NSB CE files

What version of NS Basic/CE are you using? Over the past few releases,
we've done a lot to reduce program size.
