I chased down the reason for the extended size of the executable as mentioned in http://blog.joeware.net/2005/12/23/182/.
The issue was expansion of inline functions, I don’t use inlines nor do I have anything that should be inlined by default but obviously something I am including does so the OBJ bloated right up which bloated the EXE.
Now the ADFIND binary is actually down to 500k in size which is almost half the size when compiled with Borland Builder 6.
Yes folks, 500k and you don’t need to install it nor need any NET framework loaded… 😉
