I think that was why my sizes were so high. It was loaded to a
compressed volume, and the storage size is calculated not by
uncompressed bytes, but by the compressed bytes times the compression
ratio - which in most cases is about 2:1.
As you may know, executables compress on average less than that,
hence the uncompressed bytes will be higher than actual.

I have 24.

Have fun... [grin]
