Is it possible to do a UNIX-like stripping of Delphi compiled EXEs?

What I mean, for UNIX illiterates, is to reduce the size of the EXE by
getting rid of redundant, unnecessary code/data.

I read an article a couple of years ago where a Windows programmer was able
to reduce a ~200KB C/C++ app to about 20KB by eliminating certain header
files and libraries.

Thanks ...

There is a program in the delphi 2 bin directory called W8loss.Exe and
W8Loss.DLL that removes debug info and maybe some redundant code (I don't know
about the redundant code part).  I don't know if D1 has this program.

Hope it helps -

1) Use W8LOSS (Delphi 1 only)
2) Remove all forms and write code in the project unit
3) Write the application as a console app.

BTW: Doesn't it suggest something that UNIX exes have unnecessary code
and data ;-)
