Compiling the DLL's into the executable?

It could easily be done if DLL's where provided as object modules. A static
linker would then produce the executable file that would include both those
object files and your app object file. Unfortunately, it would be a HUGE
executable, with no real benefit. Think about this:
Your app's executable file is relatively small because it relies on
services provided by VB5 DLL's. And so do ALL the VB5 based apps that you
might have on your HD.
This way, you may have a LOT of apps using ONE copy of the runtime files.
