The current calculation engine compiles to three Win32 DLLs and four 
Win32 EXEs.  There is 850,000 lines of F77 code and 50,000 lines of C++ 
code.

The Windows Win32 user interface is 450,000 lines of C++ that compiles 
to a single Win32 EXE.  The Excel transfer tool is about 70,000 lines of 
C++ that compiles to a single Win32 EXE.  The input manager tool is 
about 10,000 lines of C++ that compiles to a single Win32 EXE.  The 
license manager is 20,000 lines of C++ that compiles to a single Win32 EXE.
