Hi,
Can Alink create a single exe that already includes all of the
required runtime DLLs?
I'd like to create a [small] program that can be distributed as a
stand-alone exe, that does not depend on additional runtime DLLs
(except, of course, the Windows DLLs).

Thanks,
-Itai

Itai,

No, it can't.

But you can package the runtime DLLs and your executable into a single exe 
with some third party products, like "BoxedApp".

I wouldn't recommend doing this, but it is a possible option, if you really 
want to go that way. I would rather use a different programming language or 
a different compiler / tool -- like (x)Harbor -- instead, though.

Just google "BoxedApp" for more info.

Hope that helps,

Andreas

OK, thanks.  I can leave with a bunch of DLLs.
