Here is an ASP script I came up with awhile ago. Used to publish *.js scripts on your server, stripping off all the comments and extra spaces (make sure you do not miss any semicolons). Depending on your coding habbits the size can be reduced by a factor of two or so. Also you give some extra headache to those stealing your work :) .
