New BIG DLL file

[Lucian_Dinu]

This file is really not new. It has been discussed multiple times. The short answer is that, this was included when Xojo added Unicode support.

New DLLs when compiling. What for?

With the new version 2014r3, there are three new dll in the exe Lib folder: icudt53.dll, icuin53.dll and icuuc53.dll. The first of these dlls is 20 Mb big. What are these dlls for? I see no new big feature for Windows in this new release. Every time the exe file is bigger and bigger and it’s difficult for us to understand why.

2014R3 vs 2014R2.1 Win32 File Size / ICU DLLs

Could you do something like use a compressed file system? Or a ram drive or similar?
