Possibly you didn't strip the executable first.
    GNU C includes a lot of stuff for the debugging tools (symbol
tables).  In the case of Ghostscript, the executable goes from 4.5MB
to 1.3 MB when stripped....
    syntax:  `strip <linked-prog-name>'
(That's the output from the linker, *before* you COFF2EXE it.  It
replaces the old file with the new one, so make sure you don't want to
do any more debugging....)  Then COFF2EXE as usual.
