I compiled the standard "Hello, world"-program, and the output executable took up 57k, 32k when compiled with the -s option. I know that there's got to be this stub-loader, dpmi-interfacing etc. but does this really take up all this space, or did I just overlook some switch? What are the options if you want to reduce the size of the output? I hope this question hasn't been brought up too often :) Kristian Hogsberg - u951303 AT daimi DOT aau DOT dk
