I've just tried creating a 'Hello, world!' executable using Liberty Basic  
4.04.  What it's produced is ten files in all: one .EXE, one .TKN, five  
.DLLs and three .SLLs; the total size of all the files is about 2.8  
Mbytes.  Compressing them results in a 1.2 Mbyte ZIP.

So whether you consider that to be bigger or smaller than your RealBasic  
example rather depends on whether the RealBasic EXE was compressed or not.

One of the many things I dislike about LB is that it doesn't create  
single-file EXEs, you have to distribute all those custom DLLs and SLLs  
with every compiled program.  It almost forces you to use an installer to  
deploy even the simplest application.
