Not 3MB but still largeish. I wonder if it would suffice to include just a few selected source files out of zlib-1.2.3, such as inflate.c, deflate.c, and zlib.h? That would get the size down to around 150KiB uncompressed and (guessing) about 40KiB compressed. Hardly noticable. -- D. Richard Hipp <drh=40hwaci.com> |
