Actually I think it was less than 500 KB when all was said and done. The command line version of SMTP Diagnostics has been included in the download file for a long time now and I don't think anyone even noticed.<br><br>-KIRBYWed, 13 Dec 2006 09:21:37 GMTKirby Turnerhttp://www.whitepeaksoftware.com/forums/Topic41-5-1.aspxyes i think the download size matterWed, 13 Dec 2006 09:00:02 GMTmichel goujanehttp://www.whitepeaksoftware.com/forums/Topic41-5-1.aspx[quote][b]Kirby Turner (10/4/2005)[/b][hr]I don't know the actual number yet but I would image the download file would increase by less than 1 MB.[/quote]</P><P>IMO, users not will complain about a size increase of less than 1 MB.

The command line feature will be implemented in a separate executable. And to avoid potential problems, no runtime libraries will be used.<br><br>Thanks to everyone who sent feeback!<br><br>-KIRBYTue, 04 Oct 2005 11:42:13 GMTKirby Turnerhttp://www.whitepeaksoftware.com/forums/Topic41-5-1.aspxHow much larger will be the download be? If the increase size is relatively small I would say do what is easiest for you.Tue, 04 Oct 2005 11:22:21 GMTFrank Smithhttp://www.whitepeaksoftware.com/forums/Topic41-5-1.aspxI want to add a command line option to SMTP Diagnostics. Having a duel mode application, one executable for both the GUI and console, is doable but has certain limitations and problems. Therefore, it looks like I need to create two separate executables. [Note: Sun does this with Java (java.exe and javaw.exe) and Microsoft has cscript.exe and wscript.exe.]<br><br>With two executables the size of the download will grow, so I'm thinking about using a runtime package that contains the common code. Unfortunately this means I have to use the VCL runtime packages as well. This will reduce the size of the download but it increases the number of files installed.<br><br>In your opinion, does size matter or would you rather have a self-contained executable? In other words, do you prefer a smaller download or fewer files?<br><br>Thanks,<br>-KIRBYTue, 04 Oct 2005 08:42:37 GMTKirby Turner
