Hi!

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
  cout << "Hallo, Welt!\n";
}

compiles to 

TEST.EXE   158.101   07.06.96 23:21

Why is this nice little program so extremly huge? Is there a way to shrink
it? (Any plans for optimizing linkers like that one Borland Pascal has?)

Greetings from Cologne, Germany
