How big is my what!? Oh....
Right now, mine is 14 mb. Yep, 14,722,692.
But I have it rendered at 50% *and* I used a batch conversion to reduce the
LDLite output to 8 bits.(1) Sure it took a while, but the savings were
significant. If I remember rightly, the size of the dir when I did it was
about 36 mb.
The use of GIF and JPG slow it down. A lot. Much better to just reduce the
bit depth.
It would be smaller, but I have not converted the two last updates worth of
parts to 8 bit. I should do so.

1. Would that be a good option for LDLite? The ability to reduce the output
bit depth?

| (...) I believe it's actually on Gyug's list to do, but he doesn't yet have the routines to reduce a 24-bit image before saving as an 8-bit bmp. Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 2-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
