	I am just wondering what the expected size ratio is between a
program compiled under a 16-bit compiler (like BC++3.1) and DJGPP.  I
remember reading a while ago somebody saying that only 18k was linked into
every DJGPP file. (I may have the wrong number)  I tried compiling:

void main(){}

	And it came out as 67k.  I tried using <fstream.h>
#include<fstream.h>

void main()
{
 fstream a("test", ios::out|ios::binary);
 a << "Hello";
 }

	And it ended up 202k.  From what I remember of BC++v3.1 those
programs would have compiled to 5k & 29k.  Should I expect 10:1 ratios to
take care of Protected mode issues?
