Unused routines still result in huge .EXE

[TerryRitchie]

Wow, a 6 meg exe. What are you running under the hood to get a build that big? 

To be exact: 24,681 lines (includes basic comments).  This is one of our critical operation programs that handles everything from customer PO import and tracking, automatically order creation, shipping logistics, order tracking, and a host of other things.  I am definitely a member of the 'If it can be automated...DO IT' club.  Accurate automation saves money and increases accuracy (which in turn saves money).

Wow, that sounds exactly like the QB4.5/VBDOS code I created back in the 90's when working as a system administrator. I had each of those functions broken into separate programs though using a combination of flat-file and ISAM database structures to keep track of everything.
