Thread: Smaller File Size?

I want to make this program as small as possible. I've seen programs do far more then what mine does and at far smaller filesize.

This compiles to about 420kb

What can I do to this program to make its file size far smaller? I tried to write this code to keep it as short as I can, I get the feeling more can be done, I just don't know what. Any help and/or recommendations would be nice.

This compiles and works well for me, I hope it does for everyone else.
(yeah I know, it's encryption only... for now!)



Thanks.

1. Compile in release mode, rather than debug mode.
2. Use shared libraries rather than static libraries.
3. Use an exe "packer" like http://upx.sourceforge.net/

UPX is pretty cool, thanks.

420Kb -> 268Kb

You could write it in C instead of C++
