There are several solutions:

- use older versions which have smaller EXE size (v3.1 about 170KB, v2 about 45KB)

- use C++ or Delphi or another language instead of AutoIt

Note: AutoIt compiled EXE size will not be smaller than today in the future. Take it as fact.

Those 5.25" diskettes are hard to find anyway, aren't they?

because when you compile a script, the entire autoit interpreter is compiled with it.

I never compile hardly anything though, i have autoit installed on my flash drive, and a registry script that associates .au3 files with the executable. So if I'm on a computer without autoit installed, i just plug in the flash drive, run the reg script, and its just as if it were installed.

300KB isn't even a lot for my TI-84! How is that big?

590kb by me LOL.... I just asked it becouse the littlest program is 590kb !!! lol

Too bad that its impossible to make it up to 50kb or so....

And when someone who wanna download it with 56kb modem should wait 1 hour lol...

56 Kbps / 8 = 7 KB/s

590 KB / 7 = 84.285 s

84.285 / 60 = 1.4 minutes

But seriously, most web pages are pushing 500KB these days, MSN.com is almost 400KB at any given time.
