Is there lots of fluff in the library? I find it hard to swallow > that a "simple" text editor bulks 160K... I thought about that, Mike. Yes, I could trim some stuff, like the file selector functionality could be limited, but then I realized that it would mean just about no chance, ever, of being able to fold in any updates from newer pine releases. Would that be acceptable? What I mean by that is that there would be major differences between the stock pico code and what I left in. If I really used a knife on it, I could slim it down. It'd STILL be better than ee (from a newuser standpoint), just about as portable as a lead anvil. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
