  9. Dear MacAppers,
  10.  
  11. I'm writing a MacApp based program where size is more important than speed. The
  12. main obstacle to my achieving a small program (at runtime) is MacApp's
  13. insistence on keeping a large number of segments resident, namely (in
  14. MacApp 2.0):
  15.  
  16.     resource 'res!' (kBaseMacApp,
  17.     #if qNames
  18.        "BaseMacApp",
  19.     #endif
  20.        purgeable) {
  21.        {   "Main";
  22.        "MAMain";
  23.        "GMain";
  24.        "GRes";
  25.        "GRes2";
  26.        "ARes";
  27.        "BBRes";
  28.        "BBRes2";
  29.        "%_MethTables";
  30.        "GError"
  31.       }};
  32.  
  33. These segments account for more than 115K bytes.
  34.  
  35. I understand that MacApp needs to keep some segments resident, but is it really
  36. necessary to keep so many resident. Does anyone know some segments that I can
  37. remove from the above list without incurring problems?
