Release_Small and Run_Only_Small

[Jaffob]

I just tried one of these build configurations, and it cut the file size of my extension in half. Do they have any incompatibilities or restrictions I should be aware of?

Hi Jaffob,

as far i know only the compilation flag minimizing size in deprecated of speed.

Regular compilation use maximize speed as preferred flag.

for my experience no restrictions appears, only used when the size was really big. (use a lot in MMF1.5).

The Release_Small and Run_Only_Small just have an additional linker option (set in ccxhdr.h), /opt:nowin98. When this option is set, the EXE/DLL file is not optimized for Windows 9x, i.e. sections are not aligned on 4k boundaries. It may be slower on Windows 9x but there is no difference on Windows XP/2k/etc.
