I ust started using DJGPP, so I obviously started with small programs.
It is really annoying, that a 1K source file can turn into 50k or more
when compiled. When I used GRX, the minimum file size is 150K. Is it
possible to dramatically reduce the size of these executables?

Another problem that I have, is that my programs don't run at all
under DOS, even though I have CWSDPMI in my path. They either freeze,
or simply reboot my comuter.The compilation also takes hours,
actually, I'm not sure, exactly how much because I only had the
patience to wait half an hour for a 2k file, than I aborted it. I know
it wasn't frozen, because It reacted to Ctrl-C, and used the HD, but
so little, the LED didn't even light up. I think these strange
behaviours can be attributed to my computer's configuration, but I
don't know what part of it.

One last thing, RHIDE freezes at the first screen under Windows, and
just clears the sceen in DOS (though doesn't freeze up). 

Anyways, if anyone can help me, thanks a lot in advance.
