It should be noted that the reason that Lightspeed C files have a larger runtime library than Manx is often because Manx puts much of its stdio support into their console driver which gets installed into the system while lightspeed links it into the application. This makes non-macish applications truly portable (in more ways than one!) at the expense of library size.

Yes, but you have the option of including the console driver in the Manx code, as a resource. This makes it as portable as anything else. -steve
