To be more accurate:

 Directory of D:\Emacs22\bin
09/27/2007  11:56 AM         7,424,000 emacs.exe

 Directory of D:\software\ntemacs23\bin
09/26/2007  10:40 AM        21,391,938 emacs.exe

A better title for my post may be:
How to build a smaller emacs23?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks.
