I made a tool here (along with compiled stats), if it would help anyone. It correctly counts newlines and multi-byte characters.

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

All in favor of making Juju's counter the official counter for all non-calculator languages, say "aye."
All in favor of counting assembly as binary size, say "aye aye."
All in favor of counting TI-Basic and Axe as on-calc source size, say "aye aye aye."
All in favor of counting The Challenge Creator choosing the counting method, say "aye aye aye aye."
(all on separate lines of course)

My response:
aye.
aye aye.
aye aye aye.

Aye (for reasons I explained above)
Aye aye (it's nearly like writing your code in hex at this point.)
Aye aye aye (If assembly is gonna get counted in binary, then the same goes with BASIC. That's pretty much what we did before IIRC.)
Nay nay nay nay (I'd like if each contest had the same standarized, agreed-upon counting method.)

Aye declare that tool as an official byte counter. If somehow not available, this may be used instead, but use the byte count, not character count.
As pre-compilation hex files have a h-aye s-aye-ze, my opinion is that the final binary should be sized.
T-aye BASIC as source s-aye-ze, Axe as comp-aye-led program.
Of course, aye can't dec-aye-de the last one m-aye-self. I'm a bit b-aye-ased. :P

The size of the program header for TI-BASIC entries should not be added to the scored size. Source means "length of code", not "file size stored in memory"; most languages have a header hundreds of bytes long on their files, and yet we don't count it. This gives an unfair advantage to non-calculator entries, whose headers are ignored.

I propose that TI-BASIC entries are counted as the size of the program in the [2nd][MEM] menu, minus the length of the name, minus nine bytes.

   All programs must be PM'd to the challenge creator or one of the Community Contests board moderators by 11:59:59 PM ET the following Saturday.
   

Forgive me if I'm completely missing something, but you cannot do attachments in PMs can you?

Most people either link to dropbox of the source/binary, or use a code bbcode to give their source.

@Juju 's Counter counts in bytes AFIK. :)

True, i agree that headers should not count, including headers for shells like Doors and Mirage.

Yes, but if you don't want to use it for some reason, I have used that as an alternative.

And when I did it, headers didn't count.
