Well that will usually be automatic for any program just depends on your
amount of ram. How much ram do you have?

Vassili -

Thank you for your reply but the size of the resultant .EXE file is of
little concern to me.  I'm trying to increase use of the computer's RAM
during the compilation phase and reduce hard disk activity thereby
increasing the speed of the compilation.
