Hello Peter!

Replying to a message of David Muir to Peter Yao:

 PY>> How big are the executables for SP and VP to generate a prg that
 PY>> prints out "hello world" on the screen? (not msg box)
  Also does
 PY>> either one of the products require distributing supporting DLLs for
 PY>> the EXE to run?

 DM> note.. text output is 32 bit (due to the use of their DLL)
Note that textoutput is _not_ 32bit, but that the dll is there to convert
32bit calls to 16bit calls. The dll is a thunking dll (thunking=translation
from 32bit flat memory to 16bit 16:16 pointers); thunking is something SP
does not do. (There are no 32bit textmode functions in OS/2, so it is not
strange both compilers use 16bit functions).

Bye, Erik!
