Re: Your absolute favorite games, and why

Hard to judge best game. The most fun I had was in Ultima Online I think. I ran a library for several years there, those were good times..

Yes, I think MinGW links statically. Not a problem really, like you said can just release the exe and be confident all it needs is there.
But kind of annoying when you just want some small progie to do some simple stuff, I end up compiling those in VC :) Gotta use it for something I guess..

Re: How to make c++ programs smaller?

Hello! :) This happens because of the way the Dev-CPP compiler (MingW) links the iostream lib. I have not found any way of getting around this :( The good news is, the file size wont increase much if you use more from the lib. File size on the same (very simple) project compiled with Dev-CPP vs. MSV...
