- Hi Julian,
-
- Your view of strip seems a little cloudy - it couldn't possibly do all the
- things you say it does. What it does do is remove the symbol information from
- executables that are left there for debugging by the linker. Your can specify
- that you don't want the symbols in the executable at compile time, which is
- what you have to do on the Amiga ATM. Not sure if it would be possible to just
- compile strip on the amiga as the symbol structure is different. If it was
- possible it would only work on GCC compiled executables
-
- Matt.

- PS. A question for Fred Fish (If you're reading this): Why don't you get Urbin
- Mueller to give you an ADE directory on Aminet and upload all your stuff there
- - I can't download anything in the UK from your server. (I understand if this
- is something to do with the humungous size of ade, or that you need income from
- the sale of the CDRom).
