Turns out you can select only the headers - SDK = 88.6MB of which 86.2MB is
headers.
I dunno, a megabyte still feels big to me - I just worked out that a 32GB
memory stick has as much memory as sixteen 2-story 4-bedroom houses packed
to the gunnels with 2319s. Ridiculous!
Ok, ok, I'll start work on feeling blasé about a couple of petabytes...

My installation of the SDK, which contains most everything is 683 MB. Out
of that 381 MB is for the samples. So, during install simply deselecting
the samples will reduce the size to about 300 MB. That's an easy thing to
do, or to describe doing in the guide.
The actual include directory is only 83 MB. So, I'm sure you can deselect
other things to get the size pretty small.
The other option might be to suggest installing the free Visual C++ Express
edition which would also include the header files. The compilers would
allow you to build either the interpreter or the stand alone version of
ooDialog. On Windows, that is as simple as typing a few words at a command
prompt. You need to know absolutely nothing about C / C++ or building to do
it. (As long as you don't do something silly like installing MinGW also on
your system.)

Subject: [Oorexx-devel] Windows header files for using ResEdit
I'm just re-installing the Guide exercises on a W7 machine, and looking back
at the Guide, my instructions for getting the header files for using ResEdit
are to download the (free) Windows SDK.
Now if you have no intention of ever using the Windows SDK, and anyway know
nothing about it, this is a huge sledgehammer to crack a tiny but essential
nut.
So, is there any reason why we cannot provide the required header files with
the Guide? With appropriate disclaimers of course.
If we could, then it would significantly lower the entry barrier to creating
ooDialog dialogs - imho.
