Mike, this is a rather conservative estimate I think. As I already
have tried to show you that this can be done without any
omission of features at all. Altough at the price of the application
creating a (hidden, temporary) file on the target machine.
I am currently trying to create a local modification of the 
threading library with static linkage, that has full function.

I think I should send this to the list for discussion then.
(BTW, the DLL version can be left totally unaltered.)
