		The most frequently asked technical question:
	Question:	How come your programs are that small?
	Answer:	I write my programs in Borland Delphi 2 Standard Edition. Delphi is the most successful Pascal-dialect worldwide. Part of its success is the VCL (Visual Component Library) which allows even unexperienced people to write stable Windows- applications. The only drawback is their size. A simple "Hello World" results in a EXE somewhere between 170kB and 350kB depending on the Delphi-Version used! That's why I avoid using the VCL. I write old-style Pascal- code instead (nonVCL)- the same way I did it with Turbo Pascal twenty years ago. I won't publish my code but here's a code-snippet with the principle.
