Hi, I have used bzip2 for the Linux version and zip for the Windows version, and *after* compression, the relative sizes are still almost 2::1. I have already tried using compression methods, but I can't go for anything than bzip2 at most, as it's freely available. What I really wanted to resolve was the core problem, which seems to be the larger C++ binaries, rather than the compression method.
