Well, give or take about 29 MB ;-)

The DOS version is actually the largest of them, since unlike the Windows or Unix version, it also includes the complete window system and graphics/input drivers. (It also has much higher memory and CPU usage, so if anyone actually wants to run Dillo on the mythical 486 and dial-up mentioned on their homepage, Dillo-Win32 on Windows 95 is still probably your best bet.)

Of course, it's not really a fair comparison since I've been doing the Windows version longer, and thus it's much more aggressively optimized; I just thought it was an interesting point of trivia.
