Hi Norman,

I'm not sure if I misunderstood something, but I thought REALbasic couldn't create single file executables any more in the latest versions (explanation also to be found on Aaron's very useful blog).

IF you dont use any plugins (internal or external) then it's still a single file exe

Since as far as I know Delphi can still make them, there would have to be a difference in how REALbasic creates it's executables as compared to Delphi.

You might want to reread Aarons post

Delphi can make use of DLL's in much the same fashion as RB

Delphi also has Packages or BPL's which are more like compiled libraries
A developer can put these in his source when he builds his app, and then they are internal - like taking a bunch of source from another dev and putting it in your source. But you can use packages externally like DLL's as well and then Delphi is dependent on those being distributed with the app as well.
