small Sfx stub
Posted by Timmy on December 14th, 2004


Hi,

Any body know how to make small stub for self-extractor,
like that of Winzip? I tried to build using zlib but
get a stub of 80 kb, larger than that of winzip which
is less than 50kb.

Lot of thanks,

Timmy

A couple of ideas:
1. Write smaller code
2. Compress the stub. This should bring it under 50kb.

Sorry, I don't have any sensible ideas...
