Depending upon how much pain you are willing to endure, there are several options (two of which are):

- VCX's, SCX's etc. store most of their stuff in memo fields. That is FPT's, which we all know are only a little better than nothing. Packing these is a start, but what about changing the block size.

Next level of pain.
- convert all of the code in the FPT's to PRG's. It should be possible to automate this. Pjx build trigger, open all the Fpt's, extract source, properties, etc. to Prgs, then compile.

PS. Erik, you didn't add a smiley ! Were you just venting a little steam, being facetious, none of the above?
