Programming advice (no need for actually programming help)

So I have an object I am working on, and in the object I use the simple numbers object, but I only use one method out of it.

So here's the question: do I copy the method I use into my object (and cite it) and save the object size by 100 or so longs of programming space or leave the object in there, and if the person using my object is already using simple numbers, save them a dozen or so longs?

    If you compile with BST I believe it will remove unused methods -- will allow you to write as desired without cobbling or cut-and-paste.

    One solution, but that is on the users' end, but I guess that's a vote for leaving it as an intact object.

    JonnyMac is correct. The option is available in Tools--> Compiler Preferences--> Optimizations

    I would mention this in the description of your object, so that the ones who are in the need of RAM can easily find what they can get rid off.
