Actually....
I think if the program is very large, and has a lot of strings in their
text form and other things which can't be tokenized, then the program
actually gets bigger. Right now I 'm working with Steve Demeter to optimize
and improve NeoHype (a graphical RPG game-- it used to be 22k). The main
program is like 10406 bytes untokenized, but when I run it through it comes
out at 11302 bytes.
On a tangent...
The new version (1.42) of Neohype will be coming out soon....
