When you use for example Microsoft fortran or pascal compilers, the test program exe size is 10-30 KB. I will appreciate Djgpp compiler team, If you know how to optimize code to expected size. >> I need these other compilers to testing and converting code to C/ C++. > >I pointed you to the DJGPP port of the GNU Pascal compiler >the other day. Is something wrong with that? It is ok. Send me an e-mail, when I can test Pascal. It did not compile with Rhide and I dont know why. Thank you.
