Thanks for the tip, if I don't have it I'll lash out and spend the $2.94.

I'm just going to provide a CD once to the customer and from then on it will
internet based. Without everything else the install is 800k.

I don't have any knowledge of what's on their system unfortunately and
assume the minimum anyway (fresh install of win98).

There's not a lot you can do besides breaking it up I don't think. If it has
to be loaded then it has to be loaded. As long as you only load what's
needed then that's probably the best you can do.

That's correct. If a line contains what is really several lines of code then
you can't tell where the error really happened.
