Feb 9, 2014 at 7:44 comment added Ilmari Karonen @TLama: I assumed so, too, I was just trying to phrase it politely. My point is that, even if external resources were allowed, this program would still fail on anyone's computer except its author's (and, in fact, we have no proof that it even works on his computer). Also, I can beat his score with the following Perl script: do X. The content of the "external resource" X is left unspecified (it works for me, isn't that enough?), but I've provided a couple of possible suggestions below...
Feb 9, 2014 at 7:24 comment added TLama @Ilmari, I'm sure Delphi doesn't ship with a file with "Hello-World" ASCII art :) Moreover, it's described in the answer, that it uses external resources.
Feb 8, 2014 at 2:36 comment added Ilmari Karonen Is the file you're loading from something that actually ships with Delphi, or did you write it yourself? If the latter, I think you'd need to count its length as part of your score.

Feb 7, 2014 at 12:32 comment added gerrit +1 for the creativity of using # as background rather than foreground.
