(includes accessory DLLs, Extenders, OLE 2.0, etc.)
This option creates an EXE designed for Standalone PC's and does not require any extra DLLs. When a Standalone EXE is launched on a PC, the necessary DLLs are automatically written into the current directory. If for some reason, they cannot be written to that directory (perhaps the directory is set to be "Read Only"), the large compiled file will not run. The DLL’s can also be copied into a directory on a computer’s PATH and the compiled EXE will find them there and run. The Compiler has a small EXE option that takes advantage of this. The DLL’s need to be placed on the PATH only once. Subsequent EXE files installed on this same machine can be compiled under the Small EXE option. If Network commands have been used, you will need to compile the Network Extender DLLs into the EXE. This is explained more specifically in the section, EXTENDERS
Notes about the compiler:
The compiler allows you to specify version information strings to be embedded in the EXE (under "Version Info"). The compiler also creates a configuration file for each source file you compile. It will be placed in the same directory as the source file, and will have the same base name with an extension of ".CMP". For example, if you compile "C:\UTIL\TEST.WBT", it will create a configuration file named "C:\UTIL\TEST.CMP".
