Re: Upgrade from 6.02 to 7.20
Posted in 1999
Unfortunately, it depends. I have a personal 4gl that I use that went from 500K to 1.2M, compiled. Some programs doubled in size. If it's any consolation, we've just installed 7.20.ud6. My compiled sizes went down, some drastically. The abovementioned program went back to about 320K. Just checking, my 7.20.ud2 compiles have dropped by about 1/3 in 7.20.ud6. Getting smaller!
