Btw, if this looks "unsightly", UPX does a good job packing executables with no noticeable extraction lag (in fact, for larger files it's surely faster than loading those extra megs).
Try 'upx --ultra-brute theide.exe' and see - but go for a nice long walk while it's working. I think it lopped off at least 2 or 3 megs for me (down to 1822208 bytes).
