<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>> If I wrote a program like Notepad in
Delphi, what would be the minimum installation </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>> requirements to get the program up
and </FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2> running on a computer that
just had </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>> Windows freshly installed?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<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>
