How can I make my EXE files smaller.  I just made a Hello World program and
it is like 200,000 bytes!

It goes something like this:

#include<iostream.h>

int main()
{
    cout << "hello world!";
    return 0;
}

Then I compile it by typing: "gxx test.cpp -o test.exe"

I tried using gcc instead, but it didn't like my cout statement for some
reason.  How can I do a printf instead?  It didn't seem to like that either.

Thanks,

Dave
