The entirety of Visual FreePro, when completed, will be less than 10MB in total, and I'm estimating closer to 5MB. The xbase code compiled for the virtual machine will be whatever additional that is.

Visual FreePro provides server, client, remote data access, push abilities, generic message communication between two systems, and much more. It allows desktop machines to interface with mobile devices. I have defined form features which include mashing, allowing a full-power form to exist in a desktop environment, with a lesser form mashed together for the mobile, and all of this without changing any code or creating a new class -- just arranging objects or rectangles from the source form into a mash.

The product speaks for itself. Whether or not I'm able to get it completed ... that's the issue.
