Two big? # ll /usr/local/bin/pico -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 12288 Apr 24 10:35 /usr/local/bin/pico vs. # ll /usr/bin/ee -r-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 57344 Dec 24 05:31 /usr/bin/ee Yes, pico does make use of a 160K shared library, but it shares it with pilot (a kind of file browser) and pine. Besides, I am not very sure, whetever pico needs everything that is in /usr/local/lib/pico, most probably a libpicolite could be made that contained only the functions needed and used by pico.
