How does QB handle constants?

Maybe that's because the way QB manages Strings. It has a string handler that works oddly, and you know how odd the QB programmers were :?

Anyhow, if you want to have more memory in compile time, add the option /S to BC

You know, I've never had to use that, and I've compiled some big stuff.

Infact, the memory impact of string compression isn't that great, maybe a couple bytes as it does RLE compression and RLE isn't memory intensive.
