I suppose the answer is "NO", try a dir /djgpp/bin/cc1.exe an find
1.038.848 Bytes in that file. The 640kB limit is only for
the real mode image after loading. You can easily do a
zip -9 -r windoof c:/windows
copy /b zipsfx.exe + windoof.zip windoof.exe 
and get a +10MB executable which will run smoothly.
The .exe size has nothing to do with 640kB. Under Turbo Pascal
you could add your overlays to the .exe file to have everything
in on file. 

(For the non-german speakers: ``doof'' means ``stupid'')
