I discovered something in Dev-C++ that lets me strip the .exe and make it a lot smaller. How does this work, and will the stripped .exe still run normally on another Windows computer? What happens when you strip the exe with the compiler and compress it with UPX?

Thanks for your help.

I guess it means that it removes all the symbol names. This will work on other Windows computers as well.

I think UPX will work on other machines as well. I don't think how much it is used, but I think pretty much - and why would it be popular if it wasn't able to run on other machines than your own, and secondly: why wouldn't it.

Thanks for your help. I use UPX for compressing ViewpointKiller, but I didn't know about the "Strip executable" option in Dev-C++. I got ViewpointKiller.exe down to all of 13kb, by stripping the .exe and using UPX, but I wanted to know if that would cause any lag or anything on slower pc's.
