Hi all,
Does anybody know about or have programs or binaries used to shrink other programs.
What is that beast? A program that remove unneeded things from programs to speed up and shortening them. Usefull when a program don't fit in a ROM module!
HP41: I recall about (but can't find again) a program that removed unneeded labels from programs after GTOs and GSBs have been computed.
From what I recall, it was published in a french magazine and the author was the former president (or something like that) of the french PPC Paris, and it was synthetic of course.
HP71B, HP75C/D, HP 83/85/86/87: it would remove remarks, shortening var names and remove lines tags and labels after jumps are computed.
HP 86/87: I remember a program (binary) called SHRINK86 which was doing at least the remarks and var names. I may even have it on floppy but it is protected with a special record on floppy to prevent copiing.
Thanks for reading.
Patrice
