<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you use regular Delphi and VCL it can be
anywwhere from 300-500K.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you use Delphi with KOL you can build a notepad
clone which is about 40K-50K in size, which is smaller than the notepad that
comes with Windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any program 40K-500K in size like this should work
on a 486 66mHZ or pentium 75 or lower since it mainly relies on the operating
system DLL's which are already in memory elsewhere.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Delphi does not require any DLL's other than the operating system's for
programs like this.</DIV>
