Hello & Thanks ,
How large would  *.exe   be for:  Form , Richedit , Button , controls ?
I am looking for a  'Basic Compiler'  that can produce  small executables .
And hopefully one that can run crossplatform , Windows , Mac os , Linux .
Do any of these , IWBasic , Aurora , CBasic , or other Basics , qualify for small executables ?
Thanks...Vernon

Depends on the amount of auxillary code you needed to make them do whatever you were wanting them to do.
CBasic is an interpeted language and the exe contains a runtime engine.
IWBasic is a compiled language and does produce relatively small exe.
Aurora is a compiled OOP type language with a somewhat c type syntax.
At present they are run under windows

I created a window with one button and one richedit with default settings and it was 67K.

Hello & THanks ,
67k , that is encouraging .
IWBasic is a compiled language and does produce relatively small exe.
I assume you mean with IWBasic .
Or is it Cbasic  'program + runtimeEngine = 67k' ?
Thanks...Vernon

He means IWBASIC. 67k is the final size - no additional runtimes like VB

You would probably get a file size of over 100k with CBASIC
