We're upgrading our OS on the test system (HPUX 10.01 to HPUX 10.20) and I've noticed the strangest thing when compiling some 4gl programs. It seems that the compiled 4ge programs are much larger, even with the -shared option of c4gl. I stripped the program and it helped a little. Since GLS support is built into the tools now, my guess is that this situation explains the increase in executable size. It looks like 7.2 4GL will take up a bit more real estate than we had planned.
