Well, the first thing you should do is use a .exe compressor, if you don't have one, such as DJP or UPX to lower the size of the .exe . If you don't have a .exe compressor then get DJP which can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/ . The filename is mlp107b.zip. Or you can get UPX. The UPX homepage is http://cdata.tvnet.hu/~ml/upx.html . These programs can help to lower the size that the .exe uses.
