Subject EXE file size varies...

Hi,
I am running dBase 2.8
I am creating .exe using
    compile main.prg auto
and then I call
    build
and I get my main.exe file which is all fine.

What is puzzling me is that without any change to any of the files, if I re-issue the above compile and build, I get a slightly different file size in bytes for the .EXEs each time. Eg
    1793404 bytes
    1793386 bytes
    1793386 bytes (this time I only issued build,  no recompile)
    1793285 bytes

Why this change in byte size?
In the past, I would rely on the .exe file size, as a form of version control, to make sure I am working on the correct set of files, before I proceed to make any new changes in the source code.

Any answers?
tia
