I sort of got the impression stripping out was included in the hi-end
package of S-F .
Yes it is nice; this 8-byte file was compiled by Turbo-C I think for
DOS:-
ff.com, sends a page feed to LPT:

Subject: [sftalk] Re: Turnkey executables w/o the IDE

I know what Roger means. Wouldn't it be nice if we could compile a
"hello world" app and have it turn out to be just a little over 10k?
I've requested this feature too in Swift forth. I had a forth once
(Delta Research JForth, a very good direct-threaded forth for Amiga)
that could do this as an option for making turnkeys, pre-processing the
code and threading only the required stuff. I loved that feature. I know
that big hairy apps are de riguer these days, but I'm trying to do more
'green' computing these days. ;-)

Subject: [sftalk] Turnkey executables w/o the IDE

Since there's no provided way to say, set a flag and have SwiftForth
compile a program so that the IDE isn't included in the EXE, I was
wondering how easy this might be to do myself? I was thinking to make
my own bare-bones version of Hi.f, making my own custom version of SF
and having that compile the app's turnkey, and of course keep my usage
of words buried within the Forth to an absolute minimum (or copy/paste
code). Is this all I can do?
 (And most importantly, is it allowed under the license??) I just want
two things: To make executables a more reasonable size and to make sure
that users can never access the IDE.
Thanks in advance
