Hi Rich,

>Have you tried using KONXISE from XITECH for squeezing down your large VFP EXE files? I've been using it for a couple of months now and it is working great. I compressed my Medical software from 6MB to 2.8MB. It compresses anywhere from 50% to 60% of the size of your original EXE. Plus it doesn't require any runtime file mods and it also encrypts the compressed file to help prevent decompilation.

In fact I have and I'm fairly impressed by its capabilities. However two points:
1. This feature should be provided in VFP natively so that everyone could use this without relying on a third party product. You and I know that you can buy this, but someone else might not. IMO, having such item on the features list of VFP 8 certainly would convince people dealing with large executables to buy an upgrade.

2. Sadly the product brings some disadvantages also. It does not work in combination with one of the other XITECH products: Cryptor, and it can't be used on DLLS, external (VFP) .EXE files and COM components.

Walter,
