Well, each Kb counts and I gained 102Kb in the latest release by removing a few languages. They got removed because they were really not used much at all. None of the were used by more than 1,000 people, some of them were used by only 200 or 300... over 6 million users, that can almost count for a statistic anomaly. I'm sorry about that but I'm not the one who controls who uses what language.

zipped it would be around 30Kb per language, unzipped (installed) it is 110Kb at average per language!
zipped is 10 or 12 Kb only or even less (it's a 64 Kb (aprox) file (it's in ansi))
right, I forgot that some files are originally ANSI's... but installed they are all unicode (even the original ansi ones!), thus resulting in 110Kb on average per file, yet I always select "save as ansi" in the setup........ Patchou?...

"save as ansi" has nothing to do with the formatof the language files instal;led on your computer . Here is how itworks: files that can bedistributed in ANSI are packaged in ANSI in the setup to gain some space. Then, at install time, all files are converted to Unicode when installed inWindows /XP or converted to ANSI/MBCS when installed on Windows 98/Me.
I eemoved 4 ansi files and 1 unicode one which gives 102Kb once zip in the setup.
Just a thought, Patchou... what do you think about putting an option in the installer that makes it to automatically download and install the extra languages, if wanted ? Like, er... StuffPlug? does...
OFF-TOPIC, I'm an engineer !! Showed off my end-of-career project today
Don't worry, removed languages will be back soon, in a special installer,available on the translated web pages of msgplus.net .. just give me the tiem todo it
